Prince Henry the Navigator did not directly invent the caravel but significantly advanced its development during the 15th century. The latest improvements to the caravel included a lighter, more agile design with lateen sails, which allowed for better maneuverability and sailing against the wind. These enhancements made the caravel ideal for exploration along the African coast and beyond, facilitating longer voyages and more efficient navigation. Additionally, the use of a shallow draft enabled access to coastal waters and rivers, expanding exploration possibilities.
