Caravels are distinct from traditional ships primarily due to their design and purpose. They are smaller, lighter vessels with a shallow draft, enabling them to navigate coastal waters and rivers more easily than larger ships. Caravels typically feature lateen sails, which allow for better maneuverability and sailing against the wind, while traditional ships often utilized square sails. This unique design made caravels particularly effective for exploration and trade during the Age of Discovery.
