Cómo eran los BARCOS de CRISTÓBAL COLÓN – Las NAVES del DESCUBRIMIENTO de AMÉRICA

They were small, fragile, and slow... but they changed the destiny of the world. In this documentary, we'll tell you about Christopher Columbus's ships, the vessels of the Discovery of America: the Niña, the Pinta, and the Santa María, three humble vessels that departed from the port of Palos de la Frontera in 1492, driven by a dream that almost everyone believed impossible: to reach the Indies by sailing west. Discover the secrets of their construction, their nautical design, the actual size of the caravels and the flagship, their lateen and square sails, the rigging, rigging, and cannons, and how life on board was organized for the sailors who undertook the most risky voyage in history. We'll show you how the crews were chosen, what role the Pinzón brothers played, and how they faced the Atlantic storms, the fear of the unknown, and the endless sea. We'll analyze the differences between a light caravel, a round caravel, and a transport ship, how they adapted to endure long voyages, and why Columbus, with limited resources, managed to transform three merchant ships into instruments of the greatest discovery of the modern era. You'll also learn about the history of the Palos shipyard, the materials used in the timbers, navigation systems, the use of the astrolabe, the compass, and the nautical charts of the time. From their departure in August 1492 to the sighting of the New World on October 12, we follow the entire route of the three ships, their maneuvers, currents, trade winds, and the decisive moments that forever changed world history. If you are passionate about naval history, galleons, caravels, maritime explorations, and the great discoveries of the Spanish Empire, this video will take you to the heart of that adventure that began the Age of Discovery. #ChristopherColumbus #DiscoveryOfAmerica #LaNiña #LaPinta #LaSantaMaría #NavalHistory #SpanishEmpire #Explorations #Caravels #Galleons #AgeOfDiscovery #TheVoiceOfTheCorsair
