Write a paragraph explaining why the caravel was an important development for European explorers.

A caravel is a type of ship made from a single stern caste. These types of ships were used by the Europeans for their explorations of different lands unknown to them during the early days. Up to this day, the way a caravel looks is still debatable and historians are yet to find their answers. Through time these caravels were reliable because they can be easily maneuvered, their speed was incredible and yet they perform safe in the waters. The caravels gained their fame through the Spanish and Portuguese voyages that discovered lands far from their imaginations. Columbus was also said to have owned caravels during his time at sea and he named his ships Niña and Pinta. He admired them so great because of their speed and how easy it is to control at sea.
