What was "Brown Gold"?

I have two answer which one you need do that

Tobacco was called “brown gold” and “green gold,” because when tobacco is grown in the ground it is a green color; when it is dried, the tobacco leaves turn a brown color.Instead, they asked the man who sold the tobacco for them to send them things from England that they could not buy in Virginia.

The trees have been called “Brown Gold,” a name that reflects their economic worth in the area's economy. Together, the provinces of Mpumalanga, KwaZulu-Natal, and the Eastern Cape contain roughly 80 percent of South Africa's commercial plantations of trees.

the captain of a steam ship naturally chooses the shortest route to his destination. since a sailing ship is usually pushed by winds and currents, its captain must find a route where the wind will probably blow in the right direction. tacking, i.e. using contrary wind to pull (sic) the sails, was always possible but wasted time because of the zigzagging required, and this would significantly delay long voyages. the early european explorers were not only looking for new lands. they also had to discover the pattern of winds and currents that would carry them where they wanted to go. during the age of sail winds and currents determined trade routes and therefore influenced european imperialism and modern political geography. for an outline to the main wind systems see global wind patterns.

pilotage or cabotage, in one sense, is the art of sailing along the coast using known landmarks. navigation, in one sense, is the art of sailing long distances out of sight of land.[1] although the polynesians were able to sail the pacific (with great difficulty) and people regularly sailed north and south across the mediterranean, before the time of columbus nearly all sailing was coastal pilotage
