Maritime revolution 2 • In the mid–15th century, Europe experienced renewed prosperity and population growth. Competing for commercial advantage, the newly centralized European states projected their power overseas, and improved maritime technology permitted this European expansion. By that time, shipbuilders had added the triangular Arab sail to their heavy cargo ships. They created a highly maneuverable ship, the caravel, to sail the stormy Atlantic. Further, the growing use of the compass and astrolabe (天体观测 仪, 星盘 ) permitted mariners to calculate their bearings on the open sea. Hand in hand with the technological advances of this “maritime revolution,” Renaissance scholars corrected ancient geographical data and drew increasingly accurate maps accurate maps, while new findings in astronomy and sophisticated use of Arabic mathematics mathematics sharpened Europeans’ knowledge of the world
