A caravel is a type of sailing ship that was used by the Portuguese and Spanish during the 15th and 16th centuries. The caravel was characterized by its small size, shallow draft, and triangular sails. The PINTA, NINA, MASTS, and SAILS are all components of the caravel. The PINTA was the largest of the three ships that Christopher Columbus used on his first voyage to the New World in 1492. The NINA was the smallest of the three ships. The MASTS were the tall wooden poles that held up the sails. The SAILS were the large pieces of fabric that caught the wind and propelled the ship forward.
