Caravels were fast, easy to handle on the high seas. maneuverable in battle, and seaworthy.
The ancient Egyptians used boats on the Nile river, but the Chinese were the first to use ocean going ships, around the beginning of the 15th century.
this ship is seaworthy.
Fifteenth century ships, such as those Vespucci sailed on were large, and constructed of wood, with numerous billowing sails. The ships were sometimes reinforced with metal to make them more seaworthy. These ships were highly dependent upon wind being strong enough to maintain constant sailing, yet not too strong as to damage the ships.
because if the sails didn't work you would still have the rudder in the back and you would have to control it another way

The rusty weatherworn ship did not seem seaworthy.
Personally, I think "seaworthy" is a relative term. A sailboat that is seaworthy on a lake might not necessarily be seaworthy crossing the North Atlantic. I know that doesn't help much, but I think it probably boils down to whether or not a sailboat is capable of handling the sea conditions most likely to exist where (and when) you intend to sail.
Mary Jane. True but not under that name or for any narcotic purpose. Sailing ships required miles of rigging which was seaworthy for three to five years and the hemp fibre was the solution.
A sailor can manage a ship better with rudders and move the ship. Larger sails were also moveable so they could change direction and speed.
Shipwrights made boats and ships
