The ship you're referring to is the caravel. Developed by the Portuguese in the 15th century, the caravel featured a rounded hull and lateen (triangular) sails, which allowed for greater maneuverability and the ability to sail against the wind. This innovative design played a crucial role in the Age of Exploration, enabling European navigators to travel further along the coasts of Africa and across the Atlantic Ocean. Notable explorers, such as Vasco da Gama and Christopher Columbus, utilized caravels for their voyages.
