Caravels, developed in the 15th century, significantly improved transportation by combining speed, agility, and the ability to sail against the wind. Their design featured a shallow draft, allowing them to navigate shallow coastal waters and rivers, which expanded trade routes and exploration opportunities. Additionally, the use of lateen sails enabled better maneuverability and efficiency in various wind conditions, making long-distance voyages more feasible and reliable. This innovation played a crucial role in the Age of Exploration, facilitating maritime trade and the discovery of new lands.
