A caravel, a type of small, highly maneuverable sailing ship developed in the 15th century, typically features several key parts. The main components include the hull, which is designed for speed and agility; the sails, often lateen-rigged, allowing for efficient sailing against the wind; and the rudder, which provides steering control. Additionally, it includes masts for supporting the sails and a deck for crew and cargo. These elements combined made the caravel an ideal vessel for exploration during the Age of Discovery.
