SHIPS
OF THE SEVEN
SEAS
The Santa Maria, the Niña and
the Pinta
The most famous ships that ever sailed the seas
The Niña, shown in the foreground, was the smallest of the three, but in her Columbus returned to Spain after the Santa Maria was wrecked, and the captain of the Pinta seemed tempted to prove unfaithful.
