The major ocean-going sailing ship from 1400 AD on was the Carrack, a big and stable type of freighter ship that could travel to the Indies and that carried Columbus to America. Also in use was the Caravel, a somewhat smaller type of ship. Both types were invented by the Portuguese. In the Mediterranean waters the Galley - an ancient design by Greeks and Romans - long remained in use.
