The document discusses new ships and navigation techniques that enabled longer voyages of exploration. It explains that explorers used new ship designs like the caravel, which had features like a clinker built hull, lateen sails, and a rudder that made them faster, easier to steer, and stronger for long voyages. The document also mentions several new navigation aids used by explorers, including the compass, log and line, quadrant, astrolabe, and portolan charts, which helped them measure speed, depth, direction, and chart their course.
