What kind of ship did Prince Henry procure for Portuguese exploration?

  • Galley

  • Galleon

  • Caravel

  • Frigate

Answer

The caravel was a Portuguese sailing ship developed in the 15th century for exploring the coast of Africa and other areas of the Atlantic Ocean. The caravel was small and maneuverable, making it ideal for sailing in shallow waters and exploring uncharted territory. It was also relatively inexpensive to build, making it a good choice for Portuguese explorers who were often operating on a limited budget.
