Early European explorers primarily used sailing ships, such as caravel and galleons, which were designed for long voyages across oceans. These ships relied on wind power for navigation and were equipped with sails and oars for maneuverability. In addition to ships, explorers also utilized smaller boats for coastal navigation and river travel. The combination of these vessels enabled them to explore uncharted territories and establish new trade routes.
