Caravel ships are small and easy-to-maneuver boats that were created in the 15th century for exploring new places. They used a mix of square and triangle-shaped sails to go faster and turn better.
The magnetic compass helped sailors find out which way to go while they were on the ocean, making navigation easier.
An astrolabe is an old tool that measures how high stars and planets are in the sky, helping navigators figure out how far north or south they are.
A sextant is a tool that measures angles between objects, which is very important for finding directions using the stars.
Better maps have been made, which help explorers find their way in areas that haven't been explored yet.
The rudder and triangle sails made ships easier to control and helped them sail against the wind better.
Gunpowder and cannons made it possible for ships to fight better, giving them more power to protect themselves and control important sea routes.
Sailors kept a navigational log, which is like a diary where they wrote down their speed, direction, and any changes they made, helping them stay on course.
