Painting by Emanuel Leutze. On the evening of August 3, 1492, Columbus departed from Palos de la Frontera with three ships: a larger carrack, the Santa María ex-Gallega ("Galician"); and two smaller caravels, the Pinta ("Painted") and the Santa Clara, nicknamed the Niña ("Girl") after her owner Juan Niño of Moguer.
