The term 'Ship of 1492' refers to the three ships that Christopher Columbus used on his first voyage to the Americas. These ships were the Nina, Pinta, and Niña, which were all named after Spanish saints. The Nina was a caravel-type vessel measuring about 50 feet in length and 17 feet in width. The Pinta was a caravel-type vessel measuring about 60 feet in length and 25 feet in width. The Niña was a caravel-type vessel measuring about 73 feet in length and 19 feet in width. All three ships were crewed by sailors from Spain and were used to explore the New World.
