Franklin, a deputy postmaster for the colonies, asked his cousin Timothy Folger, a Nantucket captain, why. The Rhode Island captains knew the Gulf Stream and kept out of it; the packets sailed against it. Folger drew the current on a chart, Franklin had it printed, and the packet captains ignored it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComfort Colors 1717 heavyweight tee: 100% cotton, garment-dyed for a soft, broken-in feel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelaxed unisex fit; see the size guide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront print, 10.9 x 10.9 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrinted from 1768 to today: from the copy in the Library of Congress’s Geography and Map Division. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.loc.gov\/item\/88696412\/\"\u003eSee the original chart\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Galley \u0026 Gunpowder","offers":[{"title":"True Navy \/ S","offer_id":68035520954553,"sku":"GG28-NVY-S","price":34.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"True Navy \/ M","offer_id":68035520987321,"sku":"GG28-NVY-M","price":34.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"True Navy \/ L","offer_id":68035521020089,"sku":"GG28-NVY-L","price":34.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"True Navy \/ XL","offer_id":68035521052857,"sku":"GG28-NVY-XL","price":34.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"True Navy \/ 2XL","offer_id":68035521085625,"sku":"GG28-NVY-2XL","price":36.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"True Navy \/ 3XL","offer_id":68035521118393,"sku":"GG28-NVY-3XL","price":38.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"True Navy \/ 4XL","offer_id":68035521151161,"sku":"GG28-NVY-4XL","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0832\/5637\/7529\/files\/28-gulf-stream-01-true-navy-mockup.jpg?v=1793212561","url":"https:\/\/galleygunpowder.com\/products\/gulf-stream-map-t-shirt","provider":"Galley \u0026 Gunpowder","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
