Ships sailing from England to the Canary Islands primarily headed southwest. This route allowed them to take advantage of prevailing winds and ocean currents, navigating across the Atlantic Ocean. The journey typically involved setting a course that aimed to reach the trade winds, which would help propel them towards their destination.
