So in history books you learn "On the evening of 3 August 1492, Columbus departed from Palos de la Frontera with three ships. The largest was a carrack, the Santa María, owned and captained by Juan de la Cosa, and under Columbus's direct command.[102] The other two were smaller caravels, the Pinta and the Niña,[103] piloted by the Pinzón brothers.[102] Columbus first sailed to the Canary Islands. There he restocked provisions and made repairs then departed from San Sebastián de La Gomera on 6 September,[104] for what turned out to be a five-week voyage across the ocean".
This is a replica of the Pinta ship which sailed on the oceans. They take this ship and tour it around the east coast. It has the information on the history of the Pinta. Jim and April joined us. It was a fun afternoon.
