1
00:00:20,500 --> 00:00:23,900
The Caravel

2
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:28,800
The baddest and fastest ship of the 1500s

3
00:00:28,900 --> 00:00:30,100
Amazing isn't it?

4
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:38,000
Pao Bo! No one understands you! Now come 
to your senses, come down from that foolish 
hideout! Let's not cause any trouble.

5
00:00:38,100 --> 00:00:44,000
For the good of everyone around us, quit 
being so childish! Stop what you are doing! 
 We can make a deal!

6
00:00:44,500 --> 00:00:50,500
Nonsense! The 15th century caravel was adapted 
by the Portuguese and Prince Henry the Navigator 
himself!

7
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:55,000
It is by far the best peice of tecnology 
of that age——

8
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:56,500
You're kidding me!

9
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,000
The compass was obviously the best peice 
of technology.

10
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:00,500
You know, north and south stuff!

11
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:02,900
You imbecile.

12
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:06,900
The petty compass would be useless without... 
the caravel

13
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:13,500
The mighty caravel can sail through... headwinds 
and costal currents,

14
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:19,900
using only the best quality of sails out 
there,

15
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,400
the Lateen sails.

16
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:31,000
The lateen sails gave the boat speed and 
increased manuverbility,

17
00:01:31,100 --> 00:01:34,000
and that's why the caravel was used as cargo 
carriers,

18
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,700
warships, patrol or dispatch boats and pirate 
ships.

19
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:43,200
The caravel was more beneficial to exploration 
than the compass ever was.

20
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:49,500
There you are very wrong again!  The compass 
aided exploration more than the caravel, 
and you know this is true!

21
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,500
Did the compass ever increase the European 
Spice trade?

22
00:01:55,600 --> 00:02:00,100
Or have a shallow keel for sailing...

23
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,000
upriver and in costal waters?

24
00:02:08,500 --> 00:02:11,700
Was the compass ever equipped with 2-3 pole 
masts

25
00:02:12,500 --> 00:02:16,500
that could be exchanged with lateen sails

26
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,300
and square atlantic style sails?

27
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:22,600
Did it have a hull

28
00:02:22,700 --> 00:02:27,100
with a rounded bottom that allowed for more 
cargo

29
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:32,000
The caravel took explorers around the Cape 
of Good Hope to India and Asia for trade 
and commerce

30
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,900
faster... than other ships?

31
00:02:43,300 --> 00:02:47,200
the caravel had no weakness except maybe 
a limited crew capacity.

32
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,500
it could sail through open seas

33
00:02:51,500 --> 00:02:57,300
and shallow rivers.  It could sail for many 
days... or months

34
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,200
It took Christopher Columbus to America,

35
00:03:03,300 --> 00:03:06,500
and the Portuguese, Vasco De Gama to India.

36
00:03:11,100 --> 00:03:15,900
Explorers were to be witnesses... to the 
ends of the Earth...

37
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,800
and that is exactly was some did as they 
sailed to new lands.

38
00:03:20,100 --> 00:03:28,200
Yeah. They fufilled Christ's orders... to 
spread the gospel all over the earth.

39
00:03:33,700 --> 00:03:37,000
There is one last thing, from now on you 
will always know the Caravel

40
00:03:37,100 --> 00:03:41,900
was the ultimate advancement during the age 
of exploration.

41
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:46,100
The ship of adventure and discovery.  Remember 
the Caravel.

42
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:51,000
"Caravel obsessed man speaks out"

43
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:52,700
"Man shares thoughts"

44
00:03:53,900 --> 00:03:55,000
"Insane man"

45
00:03:55,100 --> 00:03:56,800
"Historian or Maniac?"

46
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:08,100
Man proclaims Caravel is THE optimum advancement 
in technology during the Age of Exploration.
