EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the reconstructed caravel ship, the Nina, which was a part of Christopher Columbus' first fleet that discovered the New World in 1492. The Nina, originally named the Santa Clara but affectionately nicknamed for its smaller size and owner Juan Nino of Moguer in Spain, was Columbus' favorite ship among the three. In this image, taken in 1892 during the 400th anniversary celebrations of Columbus' discovery, the Nina proudly flies the American flag at its stern. The caravel, a type of European sailing vessel popular during the Age of Discovery, is an iconic symbol of exploration and the beginning of transatlantic trade and cultural exchange between Europe and the Americas. The Nina's enduring legacy continues to inspire and intrigue generations, reminding us of the courage and curiosity of those who dared to set sail into the unknown.
