Details:
Alongside the Pinta and the Santa Maris, the Nina was part of the fleet that Christopher Columbus thought would take him to India. In fact, he wound up discovering a new world (America). The Nina, like the Pinta, was owned by the Pinzon brothers. She was a 40-ton caravel and was captained on this expedition by Vicente Yanez Pinzon, the youngest of the three brothers. The ship was manned by a crew of 18.
