The new improved explorer ships built in the 1400s were called caravels. These ships were designed for long voyages and featured a lighter, faster hull, as well as lateen sails that allowed for better maneuverability and sailing against the wind. Caravels played a crucial role in the Age of Exploration, enabling explorers like Christopher Columbus and Vasco da Gama to undertake significant maritime journeys.
