THE SHIP THAT CHANGED HISTORY: CARAVEL LA NIÑA
Discover La Niña, a wooden model of one of the three Spanish caravels used by Christopher Columbus on the first voyage to the New World in 1492. Built in the shipyards of the Port of Moguer (Huelva, Andalusia) a few years before the voyage, it had to be the flagship of the expedition after the stranding of the Santa Maria. Now it will delight the modellers.
The expedition departed from Puerto de Palos to the Canary Islands on August 3, 1492. On this scale, the Latin sailboat we represent in this model was transformed into square sails. After discovering the New World La Niña would return with Christopher Columbus on board reaching Lisbon on March 4 and finally the port of Palos on March 15, 1493.
