During Vasco da Gama's exploration, the primary vehicles used were caravels and naus (or carracks), which were sturdy sailing ships designed for long voyages. The caravel was smaller and more maneuverable, ideal for exploration and coastal navigation, while the nau was larger, capable of carrying more cargo and provisions for extended journeys. These ships were equipped with lateen sails, allowing for better navigation against the wind, which was crucial for da Gama's journey from Portugal to India.
