The site was important for astronomical work (which of course had maritime applications), and was where the Prime Meridian (the basis of longitude) was established in 1851, and agreed upon by an international conference in 1884. Additionally, until 1954, Greenwich Meantime (GMT), which is now known as "Universal Time", was calculated based on observations from the Royal Observatory, Greenwich.
