Caravel Sail Tee
The Caravel Sail is a sail that evolved from Lateen Sails both of which have strong Austronesian influences. Yes — there is strong circumstantial and structural evidence that the caravel sails of the Portuguese, especially their lateen rigging, were influenced by earlier Austronesian sailing technology, particularly the crab-claw sail used on paraw and proa vessels. Let’s break this down: --- 🔹 1. Portuguese Caravel and Lateen Sails The caravel (15th century) was the main exploration ship of Portugal during the Age of Discovery. It used lateen sails (triangular sails on angled masts), which allowed it to tack against the wind, unlike square-rigged European ships. This innovation was critical for long-distance ocean voyages, including to India, Africa, and later Asia and the Philippines. --- 🔹 2. Austronesian Crab-Claw Sails — The Original Triangular Sails Austronesians had already been using crab-claw sails for over 3,000 years before the caravel. These sails were highly efficient, capable of upwind sailing, speed, and maneuverability. Found in: Philippine paraw Indonesian prahu Micronesian proa The mast was often tilted forward, similar to the lateen sail structure.

I love this t-shirt that says morbussy. It allows me to show off both my love for Morbius and the fact that I get no Morbussy.
This shirt feels great, perfect fit too.
Great looking t-shirt. Good quality. Printing looks good.
Cool I didn’t order anything I just have a lot of free time and not a lot of hobbies
Fun and soft.
Good stuff! Although, I do have a sneaking suspicion that this is cursed. You see, whenever i dawn this top-teir, soft, stylish shirt - I proceed to pass out within 46 seconds. The mere act of making contact with the material insues the process of this countdown starting. If I do not quit contact, i will lose conciousness the exact moment the countown hits 0. And when I regain clarity, I find myself in a bathtub - never mine, but a bathtub nevertheless. In the bathtub, there is always various colours of hairdye. I then have to go back home, shirt stained with dye. Very fashionable though! 10/10
