Christopher Columbus and his crew sailed three ships. They were called the Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria.

Christopher Columbus sailed on the Santa Maria. People think that the ship looked like this.
Sailors stood in the crow's nest to look for land.
The hold was a place below deck that held barrels of water and food.
The mast was a long pale that held up the sail.
The deck was the floor of the ship.
