The "Atlantic Trade" winds

If the he is Christopher Columbus, he was looking for a water route to East Asia.
Sailing from Europe to South America, the most practical route would be across the Atlantic Ocean.
Titanic was sailing the Atlantic Ocean on a transatlantic route to compete in a lucrative trade, ferrying passengers between Europe and the US.
The duration of a sailing trip from England to Galveston can vary significantly based on factors such as the type of vessel, weather conditions, and the chosen route. On average, it might take anywhere from two to four weeks for a sailing yacht to complete the journey. Larger commercial vessels could take a similar or slightly shorter time, depending on their speed and efficiency. Proper planning and preparation are essential for a successful crossing.

As a veteran of one east to west crossing via the trade winds, the best west to east routes are to the north, US - Bermuda - Azores - Europe. You have the benefit of the westerly winds and the Atlantic high. July is late to leave for a west to east crossing, the risk of hurricanes is increasing.

The sailing time from Miami, FL to Houston, TX can vary based on weather conditions and the specific route taken, but on average it can take about 5-7 days. This journey typically involves sailing through the Gulf of Mexico. It is important to consider factors like tides, currents, and potential stops along the way when planning the voyage.
Titanic was sailing west from Europe to the US. There is a "corner" where vessels make a slight turn to starboard but Smith delayed that to take a more southerly route to avoid ice.
Of course it depends where in UK, and by what route you travel. The 'common' sailing route is to Portsmouth with a brief stop in Azores (for example Horta). Using this route, I calculate the shortest possible sailing route to be 3550 nm (or 6590 km). If you just want to know the shortest straight line distance then it is 3330 nm (6160 km) from St John's, Antigua to Lands End, UK. (I excluded any of the UK islands since the calculation becomes quite complicated!).
