Advances in technology made the voyages of discovery possible
Biggest Problem: European ships could not sail against the wind
Shipbuilders built new vessels: Caravel
Adopted triangular sails from the Arabs: this allowed the ships to sail against the wind
Ship became sturdier and shallower (allowing them to sail closer into shore)
