Which means Gondor probably had the option of taking a route out to the open seas if the trade winds or currents really do head southwards. (In all probability there does not even exist the kinds of trade winds along the coastline as we have in the Indian Ocean, the monsoon.)

I can't recall there being any great forests of hardwood close by to Gondor though. For such an ambitious ship-building that must have been a problem.
