The development of nautical sciences, including the augmentation of pre-existing techniques and tools, on the Iberian Peninsula generated new technology and had a direct, visible, and lasting effect on long range ship board navigation.
Stable ships that could be controlled by a limited number of sailors, small enough to be easily maneuverable along the coast and in rivers, yet big enough to carry provisions and trade goods across long distances, were needed. New ship developments were needed for merchants and as ships improved people realized they had potential to explore.

Prior to the late 13th/early 14th centuries, northern European ships were typically clinker built, [b] with a single mast setting a square sail and a centre-line rudder hung on the sternpost with pintles and gudgeons.
