The caravel was crucial to European exploration in the 15th and 16th centuries due to its advanced design, which included a lateen sail that allowed for greater maneuverability and the ability to sail against the wind. This enabled explorers to navigate previously uncharted waters and reach distant lands, facilitating the Age of Discovery. Its relatively shallow draft also allowed for exploration along Coastlines and into rivers, expanding the possibilities for trade and colonization. Overall, the caravel significantly enhanced maritime capabilities, leading to increased European maritime dominance.
