Discover La Pinta, a wooden model of the fastest of the three caravels used by Christopher Columbus on the first voyage to the New World in 1492. Built in the shipyards of Palos de la Frontera a few years before the voyage, it was the fastest of the three boats, and it often had to wait for the other two.
Build your model to scale 1:65 of La Pinta, caravel of the Discovery of America. The system of assembly of the model by means of false keel and frames approximates its design to one of the real boats.
The expedition with the three ships departed from Puerto de Palos to the Canary Islands on August 3, 1492. The sail and the La Pinta rudder were repaired on this scale and finally departed to the New World on 6 September. It was on October 12th when the famous Rodrigo de Triana cried, "¡Tierra! ¡Tierra!" (Land! Land!) and it was heard from La Pinta's ship. Later, La Pinta would be the first to arrive at a European port, reaching Bayona on 1 of March of 1493.
