What makes us think this is the Niña depicted in this painting? The caption at the Library of Congress just says "Ships of Christopher Columbus" so it's equally like it's the Pinta or the Santa Maria. Do we have any other source that says this is what purport it to be? howcheng {chat} 22:27, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You're right, that was my fault, I copied it from de:Niña without doublechecking it (although technically one of those ships is the Niña ;)). How about changing the caption to "The ships of Christopher Columbus"? commons:Category:Niña_(ship) doesn't have any other good ones. --Amalthea^Talk 22:40, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

After investigation, that image isn't public domain. I'm having it deleted from Commons. howcheng {chat} 06:02, 6 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In the introduction, this article says that Columbus changed the lateen sails for the square ones at the Azores islands, but it was there where the Niña almost sank and his men were taken prisoners. Rather, he left in a hurry and desperately because it was a Portuguese possession. It was, instead at Las Palmas, of the Spanish Canary Islands, where he made the change, just before crossing the Atlantic. Look at Barry's life of Columbus in page 140, here, or Royce in page 276, here, or page 74 here, or page 29 here, and we can go on... I will change the text, but welcome comments in this talk page.

This translates the name as little girl - whilst niña refers to a girl child as opposed to a young woman, I don't think little is correct.

And it gives namesake as Santa Clara Monastery - why ? Surelt the name is from the historical Santa Clara - Saint Clare ? -- Beardo (talk) 00:12, 20 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
