A. Technology (con’t)
3. Portuguese designed the caravel, a
small ship that moved quickly and
handled well and could sail against
the wind.
©
Holt Call to Freedom Lecture Notes
18
The caravel was an
improvement on older ships
because it could sail very fast
and also sail well into the wind
(windward). Caravel planking
on the hull replaced thinner,
less effective planking.
Caravels were broad-beamed
ships that had 2 or 3 masts
with square sails and a
triangular sail (called a
lanteen). They were up to
about 65 feet long and could
carry roughly 130 tons of
cargo. Caravels were smaller
and lighter than the later
Spanish galleons (developed in
the 1500's).

B. Explorations
1. Bartolomeu Dias sailed southward
along the African coast in 1487-88
and was the first to sail around
Africa.
2. Portuguese traded for slaves in
West Africa, which brought warfare
to local kingdoms and broke up
families.
