Amerigo Vespucci's ships were typically caravels—small, fast, and maneuverable vessels that were popular during the Age of Exploration. They were equipped with multiple masts and sails, allowing for greater speed and agility on the open seas. These ships played a crucial role in Vespucci's voyages to the New World, where he explored and mapped extensive coastlines.

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.
Square sails are referred to as four-cornered sails.
