Juan Ponce de Leon's famous expedition to Florida included three ships.
Two were caravels; the Santiago, which was the flagship, and the Santa Maria de la Consolacion. The third was the brigantine San Cristobal. Brigantines were smaller and could go closer to shore than the caravels could.
Caravels of that time were of two forms. The older style was 'lanteen' rigged, meaning it carried two triangular sails in a form adapted from qarib ships used by Muslim explorers, and a newer square-rigged style called 'caravela redonda' by the Portuguese, in the Iberian (Spanish) style. Some caravels could mount either kind of sail, or both at once, square sails above and triangular ones below, fore, and aft.
One existing drawing (see link below) shows that the Santiago and the Santa Maria de la Consolacion were of this newer, square-rigged type, perhaps with square sails at topmast and lanteen sails below.
A caravela redonda like the Santiago might be as much as 30 meters long, carry three or four masts (the drawing seems to indicate three masts) and a few cannon.
These caravels had no forecastle (the raised section on the front of the ship) and a shorter sterncastle (the reaised section to the rear of the ship) than the earlier 'carrick' design. This made them handle much better at sea.
this is a gay answer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was Florida :)
To go to florida and look for the "foutain of youth" and to look for gold.
IDK but u should probably look in a book and not use the internet for once:)
none of us really know unless we were there and actually saw it. i wish i knew so it would be easier to finish this report...lol
he found the fountain of youth, dummy! actually historians believe he was looking for gold just like other explorers and it wasn't till later in his life that he began to search for the fountain of youth... which he was unsuccessful at
No one has ever found the Fountain of Youth of legend. Many have searched for it, but no one has yet discovered it. Juan Ponce de León is famous for looking through the American Southeast trying to find it.
it is the island of Hispaiola I think. if you are taking a test, and you look it up, just asume it minght be rong
to eat unicorns and bugs and to marry the gummy drop queen
