Why were caravels able to sail?
The wind blowing the sails is what made the caravels (ships) sail. It balances with the pressure of the wind blowing onto the sail to push the ship across the ocean. Kinda like when you drag your dog if he/she doesn't want to walk. You dragging the dog is like you're the wind, the dog's the ship, and the leash to drag the dog with is the sail. You get it? :D?
Why did the Fourth Crusade didn't sail to Alexandria as originaly planned?
Cash troubles basically. The organisers had hoped for around 35,000 participants to depart from Venice, so they organised transport with the Venetians to Alexandria. The Venetians agreed to organise this, and reserved their whole fleet, merchant and war, for the crusaders that year. This was a huge financial risk since no normal trading would happen that year, so any profits would have to come from crusader payments and conquests (and the ensuing lucrative monopolies they were hoping for).
When the time had come to depart, only around 13,000 crusaders had arrived, so there was not enough cash to pay the Venetians the agreed sum of 85,000 ducats. That lead to the Venetians re-purposing the crusade for their own needs to make up for the loss. First they conquered Zara, and then they continued to Constantinople to effect a regime change.
The reason for the move to Constantinople were primarily to put a prince on the throne who had made promises to financially and militarily support the crusaders. Since the armies were still desperately short on cash, these promises seemed to solve all the crusader's problems in one go, so the decision was made to reroute to Byzantium.
Once there things escalated into violence quickly as the crusaders found out their prince had virtually no support and that force was needed to effect the regime change. This resulted in the infamous sack of Constantinople in 1204 after which the remaining crusaders set up the so called Latin Empire of Constantinople.
During the whole crusade many had already left because they didn't wanted to attack fellow Christians and/or face excommunication by the pope. Those who remained were now required to secure these new and very unstable states, so the end result was that almost none of the original crusaders went on to the Holy Land.
The only real winner as such would be Venice who knew the area very well and managed to gain a number of desirable trading ports and islands as well as exclusive trading consessions.
I expect that there are a few explanations of the meaning of Earth Ship. The most common may be a type of solar house made of natural and recycled materials. Designed by a company in New Mexico, they are generally made of earth filled tyres and have a natural ventilation system. Windows are located on sun-facing walls. Non load bearing walls can be made of recycled cans joined by concrete. The roof is heavily insulated. Such dwellings are now used in most States of the US. The first European unit was buit in Belgium and they have spread to the UK, France and the Netherlands
How fast can a three masted war ship go?
It depends :-)
In good conditions you could reasonably expect 10 knots, but no more than 15 knots. For sail boats top speed is related to the length of the boat. The longer the boat the faster it can go (ignoring factors such as total weight and sail area) before it starts to plane (front half lifted out of water which does not work in large boats unlike a small dingy or powerboat which can plane with no problems).
