| On August 3, 1492, Christopher Columbus set sail from Palos de la Frontera, Spain, with three small Spanish sailing-ships, the Pinta, the Niña, and the Santa María, on a voyage that eventually led him to America. Small ships such as these were used by the Spanish and Portuguese in their explorations in the 15th and 16th centuries. | ||||||
