During the 15th and 16th centuries, European nations benefited from technological advances such as the magnetic compass and the astrolabe. The magnetic compass allowed sailors to determine direction accurately, enhancing navigation across open waters. Meanwhile, the astrolabe enabled navigators to measure the altitude of celestial bodies, helping them determine their latitude at sea. These innovations significantly improved maritime exploration and facilitated long-distance voyages.
Four key technological advancements that facilitated European exploration were the development of the compass, which improved navigation; the astrolabe, allowing sailors to determine their latitude; advancements in shipbuilding, particularly the caravel, which was faster and more maneuverable; and the printing press, which helped disseminate information about new discoveries and navigation techniques. These innovations collectively enhanced maritime capabilities and encouraged exploration.
Trade my friend, it was all about money they sought to set out find new goods to sell to a expanding economy. This is where we find prince Henry who had a fascination in these maritime adventures he sent out expert to Portugal West Africa and some Atlantic islands for rare metals and rare spices.
