The Caravel
00:24.0
00:28.8
The baddest and fastest ship of the 1500s
00:28.9
00:30.1
Amazing isn't it?
00:30.2
00:38.0
Pao Bo! No one understands you! Now come to your senses, come down from that foolish hideout! Let's not cause any trouble.
00:38.1
00:44.0
For the good of everyone around us, quit being so childish! Stop what you are doing! We can make a deal!
00:44.5
00:50.5
Nonsense! The 15th century caravel was adapted by the Portuguese and Prince Henry the Navigator himself!
00:51.6
00:55.0
It is by far the best peice of tecnology of that age——
00:55.2
00:56.5
You're kidding me!
00:56.8
00:59.0
The compass was obviously the best peice of technology.
00:59.4
01:00.5
You know, north and south stuff!
01:01.2
01:02.9
You imbecile.
01:04.8
01:06.9
The petty compass would be useless without... the caravel
01:07.2
01:13.5
The mighty caravel can sail through... headwinds and costal currents,
01:14.0
01:19.9
using only the best quality of sails out there,
01:20.6
01:23.4
the Lateen sails.
01:28.2
01:31.0
The lateen sails gave the boat speed and increased manuverbility,
01:31.1
01:34.0
and that's why the caravel was used as cargo carriers,
01:34.2
01:37.7
warships, patrol or dispatch boats and pirate ships.
01:37.8
01:43.2
The caravel was more beneficial to exploration than the compass ever was.
01:43.4
01:49.5
There you are very wrong again! The compass aided exploration more than the caravel, and you know this is true!
01:49.6
01:52.5
Did the compass ever increase the European Spice trade?
01:55.6
02:00.1
Or have a shallow keel for sailing...
02:03.0
02:05.0
upriver and in costal waters?
02:08.5
02:11.7
Was the compass ever equipped with 2-3 pole masts
02:12.5
02:16.5
that could be exchanged with lateen sails
02:17.6
02:20.3
and square atlantic style sails?
02:20.4
02:22.6
Did it have a hull
02:22.7
02:27.1
with a rounded bottom that allowed for more cargo
02:27.2
02:32.0
The caravel took explorers around the Cape of Good Hope to India and Asia for trade and commerce
02:34.0
02:36.9
faster... than other ships?
02:43.3
02:47.2
the caravel had no weakness except maybe a limited crew capacity.
02:48.4
02:50.5
it could sail through open seas
02:51.5
02:57.3
and shallow rivers. It could sail for many days... or months
03:00.0
03:02.2
It took Christopher Columbus to America,
03:03.3
03:06.5
and the Portuguese, Vasco De Gama to India.
03:11.1
03:15.9
Explorers were to be witnesses... to the ends of the Earth...
03:16.0
03:19.8
and that is exactly was some did as they sailed to new lands.
03:20.1
03:28.2
Yeah. They fufilled Christ's orders... to spread the gospel all over the earth.
03:33.7
03:37.0
There is one last thing, from now on you will always know the Caravel
03:37.1
03:41.9
was the ultimate advancement during the age of exploration.
03:42.0
03:46.1
The ship of adventure and discovery. Remember the Caravel.
03:46.2
03:51.0
"Caravel obsessed man speaks out"
03:51.2
03:52.7
"Man shares thoughts"
03:53.9
03:55.0
"Insane man"
03:55.1
03:56.8
"Historian or Maniac?"
03:57.0
04:08.1
Man proclaims Caravel is THE optimum advancement in technology during the Age of Exploration.
