The Niña, the Spanish word for "little girl", was one of the three ships used by Christopher Columbus in his first voyage across the Atlantic Ocean in 1492. The real name of the Niña was Santa Clara. The name Niña was probably a pun on the name of her owner, Juan Niño. She was a caravel-type vessel. The other ships of the Columbus expedition were the Pinta and the Santa María. The Niña was by far Columbus' favorite. On the Columbus' first expedition, the Niña carried 18 men, captained by Vicente Yáñez Pinzón. They left Palos de la Frontera on August 3, 1492, stopping at the Canary Islands on September 6, 1492, and continued westward. Landfall was made in the Bahamas at dawn on October 12, 1492. After running the Santa Maria aground, Columbus returned on the Niña in early 1493, arriving in Palos de la Frontera on March 15. |
