Scientist and all around polymath, Benjamin Franklin. Not yellow, though.

I learned that Franklin, through his own voyages and in interviews with ship captains, created a map of the Gulf Stream, which was the name he gave it. From Wikipedia:

Franklin published his Gulf Stream chart in 1770 in England, where it was completely ignored. Subsequent versions were printed in France in 1778 and the U.S. in 1786. The British edition of the chart, which was the original, was so thoroughly ignored that everyone assumed it was lost forever until Phil Richardson, a Woods Hole oceanographer and Gulf Stream expert, discovered it in the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris in 1980.This find received front-page coverage in The New York Times.

It took many years for British sea captains to adopt Franklin’s advice on navigating the current; once they did, they were able to trim two weeks from their sailing time. In 1853, the oceanographer and cartographer Matthew Fontaine Maury noted that while Franklin charted and codified the Gulf Stream, he did not discover it.

How many trails? This boulevard has two
The Calvinball upon one, you should look
The east one, that’s the one considered new
Under some leaves, you’ll find it in a nook

Don’t die in a road accident. Use Shirlington/Park Fairfax/Fairlington Pedestrian Bridge over I-395 near Shirlington.

But not if it has recently frozen over, since it is never maintained, AFAIK.
