Pinta is available for private parties and charters.īoth The Niña and Pinta will be touring together as a new and enhanced ‘sailing museum’, for the purpose of educating the public and school children on the ‘caravel’, a Portuguese ship used by Columbus and many early explorers to discover the world. She is a larger version of the archetypal caravel and offers larger deck space for walk-aboard tours and has a 40 ft air conditioned main cabin down below with seating. Pinta was recently built in Brazil to accompany the Nina on all of her travels. The Santa Maria was the largest of the ships and was a medium. The Nia and Pinta were nicknames given to the vessels. Few realize that only the Santa Maria was the true name of the three ships. We are a floating museum, and we visit ports all over the Western Hemisphere. Santa Mara, being Columbus' largest ship, was only about this size, and Nia and Pinta were smaller, at only 50 to 75 tons burden and perhaps 15 to 18 metres (49 to 59 ft) on deck 3 (updated dimensional estimates are discussed below in the section entitled Replicas ). Everyone knows the names of the three ships that sailed on Christopher Columbus’ maiden voyage to the New World the Nia, Pinta and Santa Maria. That ship was last heard of in 1501, but the new Niña has a different mission. Columbus sailed the tiny ship over 25,000 miles. The Niña is a replica of the ship on which Columbus sailed across the Atlantic on his three voyages of discovery to the new world beginning in 1492. La Niña was likely a nickname for a ship called Santa Clara. In Columbus’s time it was the custom in Spain to name ships after saints and to call them by nicknames instead. However, at least two of those were likely nicknames. With a crew of 90 men and three shipsthe Nia, Pinta, and Santa Mariahe left from Palos de la Frontera, Spain. Ask any American schoolchildren and they’ll tell you Columbus’s ships were named Niña, Pinta, and Santa Maria. On August 3, 1492, Italian explorer Christopher Columbus started his voyage across the Atlantic Ocean.
