This would have made Niña the best of the three ships at sailing upwind. Unlike most ships of the period, Niña may have carried four masts, including a small counter-mizzen at the stern with another lateen sail. The Niña was another caravel of probably 50 or 60 tons, and started from Spain with lateen sails on all masts but she was refitted in the Canary Islands with square sails on the fore and main masts. Smallest of the fleet was the Niña, captained by Vicente Añes Pinzón, brother of Martín. She probably had three masts, and most likely carried sails like those of Santa Maria, except for the topsail, and perhaps the spritsail. Pretend you were a sailor on one of Columbus ships. Philips puts the length of Pinta at 17 meters, keel length 13 meters, beam 5 meters, and depth 2 meters. See if you can find: COLUMBUS, NINA, PINTA, SANTA MARIA, PALOS. The small caravel-style vessel was originally called the Santa Clara, but dubbed the Nia ('girl' in Spanish) by the sailors in homage to the ship's owner, Juan Nio. The Nia was not the ship's official name. We don't know much about Pinta, but it probably was about 70 tons. Columbus and his crew may have called the three ships the Nia, Pinta and the Santa Maria, but those were probably just nicknames. Pinta was a caravel, a smaller, lighter, and faster ship than the tubby Santa Maria. The small caravel-style vessel was originally called the Santa Clara, but dubbed the Niña ('girl' in Spanish) by the sailors in homage to the ships owner, Juan Niño. The Niña was not the ships official name. The Pinta was captained by Martín Alonso Pinzón, a leading mariner from the town of Moguer in Andalucia. Columbus and his crew may have called the three ships the Niña, Pinta and the Santa Maria, but those were probably just nicknames. In addition, the ship carried a small square sail on the bowsprit, and small topsail on the mainmast above the mainsail. The foresail and mainsail were square the sail on the mizzen, or rear, mast was a triangular sail known as a lateen. For his westward voyage to find a shorter route to the Orient, Columbus and his crew took three medium-sized ships, the largest of which was a carrack (Spanish: nao), the Santa María, which was owned and captained by Juan de la Cosa, and under Columbuss direct command. The Santa Maria had three masts (fore, main, and mizzen), each of which carried one large sail. ![]() The Nina sailed under Vicente Yanez Pinzon, and the Pinta sailed under his brother, Martin Alonso Pinzon. Both Nina and Pinta were about 50 feet long (15 meters). The ship will be docked at the Chattanooga Pier, 200 Riverfront. Of the three ships, only the Santa Maria was built with a deck, and it was a much slower, heavier ship, with a keel that was about 115-feet long (35 meters). The Pinta, a replica of the ship Christopher Columbus sailed in 1492 is docked in Newport at Hooters restaurant, Wednesday, May 31, 2023. On Friday August 27th, the ‘Pinta’, a replica of Christopher Columbus’ famous Ship, will open in Chattanooga, TN. Then we grabbed a brand new color of sidewalk chalk and measured out the Pinta, 17 meters by 5 meters.įinally, we measured out the flagship, Santa Maria, a whopping 18 meters by 5 meters.On the evening of August third 1492, Columbus departed from Palos de la Frontera with three ships ![]() The New World was first sighted by Rodrigo de Triana aboard La Pinta on 12 October 1492. It sounds bigger when I write it, but it looked so small as I looked at it. La Pinta (Spanish for The Painted One, The Look, or The Spotted One) was the fastest of the three Spanish ships used by Christopher Columbus in his first transatlantic voyage in 1492. We measured out the 15 meters of length, which got us most of the way across the cul-de-sac, and 5 meters across. The replica will be open for tours from 9 a.m. Uh oh, looks like the last remaining main character is going to die, he just said, “I’m going to finish this,” that’s a virtual death sentence.) Visitors tour the Christopher Columbus' tall ship Pinta at Plaza de Luna Saturday, January 14, 2023. (Seriously how many people are going to die in this movie in ridiculous ways? I just saw someone pulled from a helicopter by a shark. The Nina was 15 meters, roughly translating to 16 yards. ![]() The Pinta was 17 meters, roughly translating that to 18 yards.The Santa Maria was 18 meters, roughly translating that into yards, it’s about 20 23 yards (I decided being lazy was bad and did the math). Illustration Of Christopher Columbus Ship Crossing The Ocean USA, Georgia, Savannah, Caravel, Pinta, Savannah River Sailing Ship Floating On The Sea Waves.I pulled up “ Christopher Columbus’ ships” and used our handy dandy measuring tape. Next, we headed out into the cul-de-sac and measured out the size of the smallest ship.
