Pinta Wooden Ship Model – Columbus’ 1492 Caravel

A handcrafted wooden model of the Pinta — the fastest ship in Columbus’ 1492 fleet, first to sight land in the New World, display-ready.

The Pinta was the fastest and most maneuverable of Columbus’ three ships — a caravel commanded by Martín Alonso Pinzón. It was a lookout aboard the Pinta, Rodrigo de Triana, who first sighted land on 12 October 1492, crying out “Tierra!” to signal the end of a 36-day Atlantic crossing and the beginning of a new chapter in world history.

This model captures her three-mast caravel profile: a warm brown wooden hull, white fabric sails bearing the red cross of the Order of Christ, Spanish royal flags at the mastheads, and a gold anchor chain at the bow — finished and display-ready, no assembly required.

Who This Is For

For history enthusiasts, maritime collectors, and anyone drawn to the Age of Exploration. Pairs naturally with the Santa Maria and Niña to complete the full Columbus fleet display — and makes a meaningful gift for anyone who appreciates the ships that changed the course of history.
