THE SHIP THAT CHANGED HISTORY: CARAVEL LA NIÑA

Discover La Niña, a wooden model ship 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 travel, it had to be the flagship of the expedition after the stranding of the Santa Maria. Now it will delight the modelers.

The expedition departed from Puerto de Palos to the Canary Islands on August 3rd, 1492. On this scale, the Latin sailboat we represent on 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 4th and finally the port of Palos (Spain) on March 15th, 1493.
