They are absolutely beautiful ships!!! They are works of art!!! Columbus and his crew were very brave to take on the Atlantic Ocean in those little ships!!! I means let's face it they not the "Love Boat"!!!! Lol!!!!!
i doubt Columbus' exploration ships were that small even hundreds of years ago the owner probably had to build them on a shoestring budget they would have better waited more to gather more funding from more investors and done a true version using the exact dimensions the historical carrack and caravels had in 15th century
@@opreadumitru1 They were indeed this small. That's the whole point of the caravel: a small maneuverable ship able to quickly turn about and avoid obstacles like sandbanks and rock formations and also other ships. It was an exploration vessel. The Nau, or carrack, came later and was indeed bigger as its purpose was to carry cargo for trade.
I'm from Brazil and would like to know where the Pinta was made.I saw some amazing wooden boat builders in Salvador,Bahia that don't use any kind of power tool
The other thing I noticed was that they are not heeling in the wind like our “modern” sailboats seem to do. In all of the videos I have seen them sailing in with the wind coming from different directions, I don’t see anywhere near the amount of heeling taking place. It must have to do with the amount of ballast on board and the placement of the ballast.
An African man was captain of one of those ships.In the spanish archives there is his letter to the king of spain requesting gold for his service,he was rewarded.
Imagine the trip all the way to the Americas these boats are small the ocean is Big! SALUTE COLUMBUS FOR HIS ACHIEVEMENTS AND SPAIN FOR BELIVEING IN HIM #MAGA
Columbus was Italian, the ships were Portugese and the ships were owned and funded by the Spanish flag. Nothing wring with celebrating everyoneinvolved.
When going transoceanic, after taking a rest in the canary islands, Columbus ordered to change the lateen rigs to squares, because large lateens are labor intensive. in period they would try to dip the lateen to change the tack. and this is really hard with a heavy 10 meter yard
They were really tiny ships. What courage to sail these across the ocean.
Went inside the nao Trinidad last month in Bristol Rhode Island they’re not they have very much height .
Look how freaking close they are to the wind! Caravels are amazing.
They are reaching. Look at the flags.
Sails are not set correctly , only for show , She is under Power !
Carracks

Now there’s people sailing in 20ft boats! Across the ocean
It took them just over 30 days to reach the new land in a boat shaped like a pecan. Amazing!
Incredible how small those ships are. To think that such a journey was done on such a small cramped ship.

awesome, I feel a
time traveler watching this!
There were in Corpus Christi , Texas for a long time, and were out of the water at the museum to for bottom repairs. this was in the 2007 I believe
Yesterday I went on that exact ship.

They weren’t built for speed that’s for sure.
Benefits of a square sail, no center board needed.
And or maybe it has a small motor and prop on it like most “replicas do.”
They look so cool, but seeing water pouring from the bilge pump outlets does ruin it a little.
They are sailing with the help of motor
One is, yes. I consider it cheating. Get that authentic 15th century engine noise in there, Columbus and his crew mustve gotten so sick of hearing it.
So, you basically dont tack the lateen sail?
Amazing video! Thank you!
"Niña"
Thank you. I cringed at his pronunciation.
Y donde esta la Santa Maria?
Very nice! where is the Santa Mari ?
how much did it cost to build ?
Congrats Portugal Empire💪
That ship looks like it’s the original

I was going to say what's with the American flag but then I realized they were going to Venice Florida!
💯
Don't do no crime
Love conquers all!..drink gemberbier

They seem to be pumping a lot of water out of the bilge.

Plot twist: This is time travel with false narration.
Columbus really sailing the world back
Then lol

It should be Spanish or anyone with Spanish blood celebrating the holiday not Italians
@@romanking1202 Yep
Columbus was an absolutely horrific man who killed hundreds of people and you want to celebrate him?
Columbus was Italian, the ships were Portugese and the ships were owned and funded by the Spanish flag. Nothing wring with celebrating everyoneinvolved.
Untrustworthy just the same with thes ships
Well should I suffer? Haha, it's all an illusion delusion...try me
Nina is rigged wrong.
How so?

Nina was re-rigged to square sail halfway through Columbus’ voyage.
