    The following towns are featured: Benjamin Franklin's Chart of the Gulf Stream and accompanying letter, which appeared in the the Transactions of the American Philosophical Society in 1786. Franklin's map is one of the earliest to provide a detailed depiction of the Gulf Stream, pre-dated only by several virtually unobtainable maps prepared at Franklin's direction in London and Paris. The accompanying remarks provide Franklin's own comments on the location of the Gulf Stream, based upon his observations and the observations of his nephew, Timothy Folger, who assisted Franklin in compiling the information necessary to make this initial charting of the Gulf Stream. The Gulf Stream is one of the most important natural phenomenon affecting navigators in the Atlantic Ocean. First named by Benjamin Franklin, the Gulf Stream is a high speed river within the ocean, flowing from the Gulf of Mexico, around the southern tip of Florida and along the East Coast
