Caravel
The caravel was a small, very maneuverable ship which could sail with high precision on long discovery journeys. Although designs varied, a caravel had a foresail, a square mainsail and a lateen mizzen. Its smaller size limited the number of guns onboard, but it also meant that this light ship could explore shallow coastal waters and estuaries. Vasco Da Gama, Cabot, Columbus and Magellan used caravels during their late 15th century and early 16th century voyages.
