I am not happy with the picture. The "Tudor" caravel does not appear in my fairly extensive books on the subject. The web sites always caption the picture with "1470", a date prior to the arrival of the Tudors. It is an early caravel, but it strikes me as being a bit iffy. AlanE 23:09, 2 June 2007 (EDT)
