The Niña was a caravel, one of three ships used on Christopher Columbus's first voyage of discovery.
Its captain was Vicente Yañez Pinzón.
Particularly light, manoeuvrable and fast, Columbus also wanted it on his second voyage to the New World. Model built using the half-model technique: full hull planed. Made for the Colombian Exhibition of 1892.
