The Nina and the Pinta were small sailing vessels. These ships sank because of storms that were encountered in the Atlantic Ocean. Due to their size the ships were unable to handle the massive amounts of water that was encountered on board.

"In November [1492], the Pinta disappeared in a strong wind. On December 25, 1492 (Christmas Day), the Santa Maria ran aground and was completely destroyed. Later, in January, the Pinta rejoined the Nina. Columbus returned to Spain on the Nina, arriving in March of 1493. The Pinta arrived soon afterwards."

La Santa Maria ran aground off of Haiti. She was partially dismantled to make fort on Hispañola.
We don’t know about the other two ships. Apparently Niña was afloat in 1501.
