The name "Mariners" was chosen to represent Seattle's strong connection to the maritime industry and its location on the Puget Sound. The name reflects the city's history and the importance of the sea in the region.
Before mariners had magnetic compasses or other navigational instruments, they mostly sailed within sight of land, so that they could judge their position visually. This is called hugging the coast.
The Seattle Mariners are owned by a group of minority stakeholders led by John Stanton. Other notable stakeholders include Chris Larson, Adrian Hanauer, and the estate of the late Nintendo president Hiroshi Yamauchi.
Greenwich Mean Time (also known as GMT) was established in 1675. It was first established as an aid to mariners to determine longitude at sea, providing a rough reference time.
