As a colonial postmaster, Franklin was responsible for ensuring that packages were promptly sent between England and its American colonies. When people asked why packages took so much longer to get from London to Philadelphia than the other way around, Franklin had an experienced sea captain, Tim Folger, map out ocean currents. Although this work done by Franklin resulted in the naming of the "Gulf Stream" and its first accurate mapping, he did not discover this current.
