The Portuguese caravels and carracks were world-famous for their sailing capabilities, making 15th- and 16th-century Portugal a maritime power. Jews traveled the Atlantic aboard these vessels, seeking refuge on the shores of South America or off the African coast. Portuguese carracks off a rocky coast, by the circle of Joachim Patinir, circa 1540
