Christopher Columbus sailed to America with 3 ships. what were they called?

Answer 1

The names of the ships were la Santa Clara, la Pinta, la Santa Maria/Gallega. The crew renamed the ships to the Nina (the girl, or rather, the "working" girl); the Pintada (or the "painted" one; i.e. the girl wearing make-up, in other words, the prostitute) and the Maria Galante (the surname of another "lady of leisure"). The church censored the nicknames to more christian names which are now considered "true history"

The Santa María was the largest of the three ships and also the slowest used by Christopher Columbus in his first voyage across the Atlantic Ocean in 1492. Her master and owner was Juan de la Cosa.

The Niña (the Spanish word for "girl") was one of the three ships used by Christopher Columbus in his first voyage towards the Indies in 1492. It was the smallest of the three. The real name of the Niña was Santa Clara. Her master and owner was Juan Niño.

La Pinta (the "Painted") was the fastest of the three ships used by Christopher Columbus in his first voyage across the Atlantic Ocean in 1492. Captain of the Pinta was Martín Alonzo Pinzón.

The ship names were the Nina, Pinta, and Santa Maria. He did not sail to America and never knew it existed. He landed on the island Hispaniola and thought he was in India.
