Historical information

La Santa María de la Inmaculada Concepción (spanish for The Holy Mary of the Immaculate Conception), or Santa Maria, was the largest of the three ships used by Christopher Columbus in his first voyage. Her master and owner was Juan de la Cosa. With three masts, she was the slowest of Columbus' vessels but performed well in the Atlantic crossing.

La Niña (spanish for The Girl) was one of the three Spanish ships used by Italian explorer Christopher Columbus in his first voyage to the West Indies in 1492. As was tradition for Spanish ships of the day, she bore a female saint's name, Santa Clara. However, she was commonly referred to by her nickname, La Niña, which was probably a pun on the name of her owner, Juan Niño of Moguer. She was a standard caravel-type vessel.
