![]() Then we grabbed a brand new color of sidewalk chalk and measured out the Pinta, 17 meters by 5 meters.įinally, we measured out the flagship, Santa Maria, a whopping 18 meters by 5 meters. It sounds bigger when I write it, but it looked so small as I looked at it. We measured out the 15 meters of length, which got us most of the way across the cul-de-sac, and 5 meters across. The Santa Maria and Columbus’s other fleet members the Niña and the Pinta were older ships used for coastal trading rather than vessels designed for ocean crossings. Measuring around 70 feet in length, it carried a crew of 40 men. ![]() Her research was published in fragments, but a summary is given below. The three-masted vessel Santa Maria was the largest of Columbus’s expeditionary vessels and his flagship. Alice Bache Gould spent decades combing various archives in Spain, eventually accounting for each of the 87 crewmen of the Nia, Pinta, and Santa Maria. After the Santa María sank, 39 men were left to establish a fort, La Navidad (the Santa María sank on Christmas eve), in the village of the Taino cacique Guancanagari. Of the four voyages of Columbus, only the crew of the first voyage is completely known. There were 20 on the Niña, 26 on the Pinta, and 41 on the Santa María. Uh oh, looks like the last remaining main character is going to die, he just said, “I’m going to finish this,” that’s a virtual death sentence.) Between 86 to 89 men accompanied Christopher Columbus on his first voyage. (Seriously how many people are going to die in this movie in ridiculous ways? I just saw someone pulled from a helicopter by a shark. The Nina was 15 meters, roughly translating to 16 yards.The Pinta was 17 meters, roughly translating that to 18 yards. La Santa Mara de la Inmaculada Concepcin (Spanish for: The Holy Mary of the Immaculate Conception), or La Santa Mara, originally La Gallega, was the largest of the three ships used by Christopher Columbus in his first voyage across the Atlantic Ocean in 1492. ![]() The Santa Maria was 18 meters, roughly translating that into yards, it’s about 20 23 yards (I decided being lazy was bad and did the math). Santa Mara, being Columbus' largest ship, was only about this size, and Nia and Pinta were smaller, at only 50 to 75 tons burden and perhaps 15 to 18 metres (49 to 59 ft) on deck 3 (updated dimensional estimates are discussed below in the section entitled Replicas ).I pulled up “ Christopher Columbus’ ships” and used our handy dandy measuring tape. Next, we headed out into the cul-de-sac and measured out the size of the smallest ship.
