Nina@Wikipedia?

Saya baru mendapat khabar yang saya sebenarnya dari Sepanyol..Spanish rupanya saya ni. Selama ni saya merasakan nama saya tidak mempunyai maksud. Rupa-rupanya saya berdarah campuran. Anda patut berbangga mempunyai kawan seperti saya . hahaha :)

Nina = Little Girl (Spanish)

"The Niña (the Spanish word for "little girl") was one of the three ships used by Christopher Columbus in his first voyage towards the Indies in 1492. The real name of the Niña was Santa Clara. The name Niña was probably a pun on the name of her owner, Juan Niño. She was a caravel-type vessel.

The other ships of the Columbus expedition were the caravel Pinta and the Carrack-type Santa María. The Niña was by far Columbus' favorite. She was originally lateen sail rigged caravela latina, but she was re-rigged as caravela redonda at Azores with square sails for better ocean performance. There is no authentic documentation on the specifics of the Niña's design. Often said to have had three masts, there is some evidence she may have had four masts.[1]"
