In the latitudes of the Caribbean, the prevaling winds are the Trade Winds, which blow from East to West. The captain of a sailing ship seeks a course along which the winds can be expected to blow in the direction of travel. During the Age of Sail the pattern of prevailing winds made various points of the globe easy or difficult to access, and therefore had a direct impact on European empire-building and thus on modern political geography. For example, Manila galleons could not sail into the wind at all. | In the latitudes of the Caribbean, the prevaling winds are the Trade Winds, which blow from East to West.
