Nina Caravel - First Step

Niña, or the little one, is the ship that housed Christopher Columbus’s cabin. At the beginning, she featured the characteristic Latin sails, but afterwards she was equipped with square sails. Being a small size caravel, such as the Pinta was, she was very agile in the manoeuvers, but she need a remarkable ballast to withstand the stormy sea. Niña is a milestone in the history of sailing and of the whole humanity.
