A galleon, carrack, and caravel are all types of sailing ships from different periods. The galleon is a large, multi-decked ship used primarily by Spain from the 16th to 18th centuries, known for its cargo capacity and armed configurations. The carrack, dating from the late 15th century, features a high stern and was designed for long ocean voyages, serving as a precursor to the galleon. The caravel, developed in the 15th century, is smaller and more maneuverable, often used for exploration due to its lateen sails which allowed for better sailing against the wind.
