Quali erano le 3 caravelle?
Nell'immaginario collettivo, le "caravelle" per antonomasia sono le tre navi con le quali Cristoforo Colombo raggiunse i Caraibi nel 1492: la Niña, la Pinta e la Santa María. In realtà, quest'ultima era una nau e non una caravella.
What happened to the Nina and the Pinta and the Santa Maria?
- By July 1892, the Santa Maria was ready to sail, but the Nina and the Pinta were found to be unsafe. The Santa Maria left for Puerto Rico, while the Nina and Pinta were towed from Spain by two U.S. Navy ships. All three were towed through the St. Lawrence River and the Great Lakes to Chicago.
Who was on the Santa Maria Nina Pinta?

How long were the Nina Pinta and Santa Maria?
- Of the three ships, only the Santa Maria was built with a deck, and it was a much slower, heavier ship, with a keel that was about 115-feet long (35 meters). Both Nina and Pinta were about 50 feet long (15 meters).
