| Description |
We went to the Center for Wooden Boats today to see this replica of the Niña, the little caravel ship Columbus sailed across the Atlantic several times. Apparently the design of the original Niña is not well known, not even whether it had 3 or 4 masts. But this replica is supposedly quite authentic as far as can be done. There's more info on it at its website. This picture is from the front of the ship, not quite all the way up the bow (yes the deck slopes up). The grillwork thing is the access to the hold, which was quite small. The mainmast is just behind it, and behind the mast is the ship's boat. The raised deck in the back (the poop deck I suppose) covers a "cabin" with a low ceiling. I had to duck my head in there. The two mizzen masts with the lateen sails are back there. This picture shows nearly the whole ship. Out of the frame to the right there is a winch (windlass I think is the nautical term) for managing the anchor and such. The foremast is just in front of that. An anchor was perched on the ship's side just behind me. It is rather amazing that Columbus and his crew sailed across the ocean in this little thing. I was surprised to learn that on the first voyage to America the crew slept on the deck, which was often awash. They had no hammocks or bedding, unless a coil of rope counts. They couldn't sleep in the hold because it was filled with supplies and livestock. In America they saw the indigenous people sleeping in hammocks and adopted the idea for sleeping on the ship. Apparently before 1492 the hammock was unknown in Europe. |
