The Niña, the Pinta, and the Santa María

[@charlenee2751]

thank you, that was fun, I am from Boston and saw them when I was in 3rd grade. At that time they had a case with the dental Dr tools. I have a lot of respect for people at that time. Amazing to think 30ty something men to each ship. Mostly crew. Mad respect for people. We are so sheltered

[@madskyiv]

thanks, that was awesome tour.

It is awesome to go to the exact spot where Columbus sailed from. How much the world has changed since that expedition.

Those were actually small ships for the time. Not intented to be large. Just fast, exploration ones.

[@DannyGoLively]

Somehow, they seem both much larger and much smaller than I thought they would be

[@millstap]

I know what you mean. They look like miniature large ships. 1492 technology.

[@dubab.249]

The next time you shoot something like that, hold the frame for more than 2-3 seconds, there are details on those boats that are more beautiful than fat tourists.

Yes, funky camera with no image stabilization.

The replica Mayflower near me isn't much bigger and wouldn't want to sail it down Cape Cod Canal never mind across the ocean.

Is this in Spain? I would love to visit someday.

[@millstap]

Yes, it is the exact location where the ships disembarked from. Very cool. www.google.com/maps/place/21810+Palos+de+la+Frontera,+Huelva,+Spain/@37.2007053,-6.9265433,12.61z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0xd11da2ff9c42109:0x40463fd8ca09850!8m2!3d37.2288942!4d-6.8954258

Thank you for posting. It's insanity if you ask me!

[@millstap]

Sorry for the shaky video. No stabilization on that camera. It was cool though to see the size of those small ships. Very brave and experienced sailors for sure.

[@ugaugauga488]

@@millstap I just noticed in Wikipedia that the actual size of the ship is no known and there are several replicas. The largest one is 100 feet long. That might not be as bad for a long trip but I still think it was madness.

[@millstap]

@@ugaugauga488 Yes, the Santa Maria was the largest and the other two smaller. Just having enough healthy food and water to make it was a feat in itself because they didn’t know exactly how long it would take. Then when everyone panics, the mutiny ensues. Not for the faint of heart for sure.
