If you were on a sailing ship trying to get from Europe to Canada, you would want to be in the **westerlies**.
The westerlies are prevailing winds that blow from the west to the east in the mid-latitudes, which would be favorable for a journey from Europe across the Atlantic Ocean to Canada. The trade winds, on the other hand, are primarily located in the tropics and would not be advantageous for this particular route. The doldrums are calm equatorial regions with little wind, and polar cells and extratropical cyclones would not assist in the journey either.
