1T is difficult for the mind to
grasp the immensity Of this great
ocean river The straits of Florida
at its narrowest point. is about 40
miles wide and observations here
numbered between three and four
/ thousand, surface and sub-surface.
| A calculation OF the average volume
of water passing in one hour gives
the enormous sum OF 30 billion tons.
II this one single hours flow Of
water could be evaporated, the re-
naming salts would require many
times more than all the ships IN the
world TO carry II.
when one Is on board a vessel
floating upon its waters, one is not
as much impressed az the power and
grandeur OF this wonder OF nature
as he Is when he stands before a
towering mountain. an immense ice-
berg. or a fall Of water such as Nj
agara but when one remembers that
tho mighty torrent, speeding on hour
by hour and day by day. in a volume
equal 20 all the largest rivers in the
world combined. carrying its bene-
fcient heat 10 temper the climate OF
continents one begins to realize
that Of all the forces OF the physical
world. none can equal this one river
of the ocean.
1T is interesting 10 note In the
history Of the gulf stream. how great
its influence has been on the for
tunes OF the New World. Before the
discovery OF America. strange woods
and fruits were frequently found on
the shores OF Europe and off-lying
Islands. Some Of these were seen
and examined by Columbus. and 10
his thoughtful mind. they were con-
vincing evidence OF the fact that
strange lands were somewhere 10
the westward. These woods were
carried by the gulf stream and by
the prevailing winds from the
American continent. 50 that in part
the stream Is responsible for the dis
covery OF the new world.
The influence Of the gulf stream
IN the colonization OF America. was
very great. The division OF the
A4NAAANA NNINllAFN AilAU aNFN rus ANU
and Virginia was probably IN part
due 10 the routes by which they
were reached. Vessels bound from
England TO New England crossed the
North Atlantic outside the limit OF
the gulf stream. or in a feeble ad-
verse current. They had the advan-
tage. too. OF crossing the Newfound
land Banks and OF being able 10
surely replenish their provisions by
fishing.
This voyage. however much as
the advantages might be. either by
the shorter distance or the gaining
of food. was not thought TO he prac-
ticabie with vessel bound 70 the
Southern Colonies They sailed
south TO the trade-wind region. |
through the Caribbean and around
Cuba. thence following the gulf
stream 70 their port
THE Dutch adopted this passage I
10 the Hudson, so that really Nan
tucket Island became the dividing
line between the two voyages; a
difference Of 100 or 200 miles in
destination. caused a difference in
the length Of the passage OF about
3 900 miles.
The name OF Gulf Stream was
