15th century caravel
What were the boats of the great discovery of the New World like? Tradition always speaks of three caravels, a type of fast boat with a light hull and a sail consisting of several masts and types of sails. Scholars note that in reality Columbus's fleet was made up of two caravels, the Nina and the Pinta, and a "Nao," the Santa Maria, a type of 3-masted ship with 2 square sails and 1 lateen sail, equipped with a forecastle that places it in the class of Carracks. However, the small size of the Santa Maria should not deceive: the robustness of the construction, combined with the ancient knowledge of the time and the intuition of the great navigator, allowed for such a great undertaking. 1492, a historic date that everyone knows.
