Shipbuilding Innovations: Vessels of Exploration
Without seaworthy ships capable of carrying sumlies for months and crew of dozens, no exploration would have been possible. The equivaissance saw thee development of new ship designs that combinad carrying capacity with manewrability and durability.
Thee Caravel: A Versatile Explorer
Th caravel was a small, highly manewrable ship that became thee backbone of Portuguese exploration. It typically had two or three masts, often using lateen (triangular) saires that allowed it to sail closer to the wind than square- rigged ships. This made thee caravel ideal for expresoring coastride, Navigating shallow waters, and beating upwind along thee Africain coass.
