In 1492 Christopher Columbus sailed from Polos, Spain. He was born in Genoa, Italy. They had three ships called the Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria. There was 90 men. They were trying to get a route to the Indies across the Atlantic Ocean to find spices and gold. They landed in the West Indies. It took them 5 weeks. Two islands that Columbus visited are Cuba and Hispaniola. He called the people there Indians because he thought he was in the Indies.
This boat is one like Columbus sailed on. The Santa Maria sank once it got there. After that the Nina and the Pinta went back to Europe.
