This meticulously crafted chart provides a fascinating glimpse into the colonial era, depicting the intricate details of America's seaboard and its relationship with the mighty Atlantic Ocean.

Here, his expertise in oceanography shines through as he accurately maps out crucial features such as rivers, coasts, and even Nova Scotia. The inclusion of the Great Lakes further emphasizes his comprehensive understanding of North American geography. The highlight undoubtedly lies in Franklin's depiction of the powerful Gulf Stream - a significant maritime current that greatly influenced trade routes during this period. Its presence on this chart underscores its importance to both seafarers and coastal communities alike.
