A carrack is a large ship used primarily for transporting merchandise. It was in use from about the 14th to the 17th century.
Caravelas (carracks) and naus.
Of the five ships in Magellans fleet, four were Carracks and one was a Caravel. The carracks were Victoria, San Antonio, Santiago and Concepcion. The flagship Trinidad was a caravel.
A Carrack had rather high forecastle and sterncastle and was usually smaller than the Galleon. Therefore, the Galleon had less superstructure above the waterline which gave less windage, and increased waterline length which improved speed, and thus displayed better sailing characteristics than the Carrack
You have to Wait until around the 1400's and then you can build carracks which allow you to cross the ocean to america.
Paul Carrack released his version of "When You Walk in the Room" in 1987. The video stars the case of "Who Dares Wins", and the girl in the video is Judy Davis.
During maritime exploration and trade, different types of old sailing ships were used for specific purposes. Some common types included caravels, galleons, and carracks. Caravels were fast and maneuverable, ideal for exploration. Galleons were large and heavily armed, used for trade and transporting goods. Carracks were sturdy and spacious, suitable for long voyages and carrying large amounts of cargo. Each type of ship played a unique role in the maritime activities of the time.
During the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, the primary types of ships used for exploration included caravels, galleons, and carracks. Caravels were small, agile ships favored by the Portuguese for their ability to navigate shallow waters and sail against the wind. Galleons, larger and more heavily armed, were used for trade and warfare, while carracks combined the features of both, offering stability and capacity for long voyages. These ships played crucial roles in the Age of Exploration, enabling European powers to expand their maritime empires.
Ketch, sloop ---\\\--- Sorry, but a sloop has only one mast, a ketch only carries two. Brigs, barques, brigantines, carracks and square-riggers are different types of traditionally-rigged three-masted ships.

Tudor ships were often referred to as "Tudor warships" or "Tudor naval vessels." Some specific types of Tudor ships included galleons, carracks, and pinnaces. One notable Tudor ship was the Mary Rose, a warship that sank in 1545 and was later salvaged.
Ships in the 16th century were mainly Carvels and Carracks and the average length was around 20 to 30 metres (70 to 100 feet). There were a few bigger ships built, but they were not very stable, ie The Mary Rose. It was not until the introduction of the Galleon in the mid 16th century that ship size began to increase.
The Spanish Armada that sailed againts England in 1588 consisted of: 24 Galleons 4 Galleys 4 Galleasses 85 Armed merchant vessels (mostly Carracks) 34 Light Vessels (mostly Pinace type craft)
