She was one of the three ships that took part in the expedition of Christopher Columbus in 1492. The displacement of the Pinta probably did not exceed 70 tons, and its crew consisted of about 25-28 people. The length of the vessel was approximately 17 meters and a width of approximately 5.5 meters. The Pinta was a Spanish caravel - a sailing ship that was launched perhaps in the mid-15th century. Santa Maria was partially dismantled by the crew and abandoned. Unfortunately, on December 25, 1492, the ship ran aground near Hispaniola and was unable to continue navigation. The most famous voyage in the history of the ship began with departure from the port of Palos de la Frontera on August 3, 1492. The unit was also the flagship of the entire expedition. It was also much larger than the accompanying 1492 ships Nina and Pinta, and thus better prepared to cross the Atlantic. Santa Maria was a commercial unit, but had little artillery armament.

The full displacement of the Santa Maria ship probably did not exceed 130-150 tons, and its crew consisted of about 40 people. The length of the vessel was approximately 19 meters and a width of approximately 5.5 meters. Santa Maria (colloquially called La Gallega) was a Spanish sailing ship - a karaka, which was probably launched at the beginning of the 15th century. The last reference to this undoubtedly historic ship dates back to 1501. She also took part in Columbus' Second Expedition and, despite being on the hurricane route, happily returned to her home port in 1496. More importantly - on March 15, 1493, she returned to Spain. After it crashed, Santa Maria became the flagship of the expedition to sail to the Bahamas on October 12, 1492, which is widely regarded as the discovery of the sea route to America by Europeans.
The famous cruise began with departure from the port of Palos de la Frontera on August 3, 1492. During the famous voyage, the ship's captain was Vicente Pinzon.
Originally it had three masts with Latin sails, but during Christopher Columbus' expedition to the Azores, it probably received square sails, much better suitable for sailing in the Atlantic. Nina (Spanish girl), which may be surprising, was designed to navigate the Mediterranean Sea as a strictly commercial vessel with a rather limited range. Nina's displacement probably did not exceed 60 tons, and its crew consisted of 24 people.
The length of the vessel was about 15 meters and a width of about 4.5-5 meters. Nina (another name is Santa Clara) was a Spanish sailing ship - a caravel that was probably launched in the 80s of the 15th century.
