HISTORY OF LA PINTA: THE FASTEST CARAVEL. Discover La Pinta, the fastest of the three caravels used by Christopher Columbus on the first voyage to the New World in 1492.

Built in the shipyards of Palos de la Frontera -Huelva, Spain- a few years before the voyage, it was the fastest of the three boats and it often had to wait for the other two. The sail and the rudder of La Pinta were repaired on this scale, and finally departed to the New World on September 6th. It was in October 12th when the famous Rodrigo de Triana cried Land in sight! Later, La Pinta would be the first one to arrive at an European port, reaching Bayona March 1st, 1493.
