During the Age of Exploration, European sailors built a special type of ship known as a caravel. Caravels were designed to be fast and nimble, and could sail against the wind much better than other ships of the time. The first Europeans to reach the Americas were on a mission to find a trade route to Asia. This was known as the 'search for the Indies', and it was led by Christopher Columbus. The Age of Exploration saw the introduction of several new technologies to the world, including the astrolabe and the cross-staff. These tools allowed sailors to accurately measure their latitude and longitude at sea.
