The name Christopher Columbus is the Anglicization of the Latin Christophorus Columbus. Also well known are his name's rendering in modern Italian as Cristoforo Colombo and in Spanish as Cristóbal Colón.
On the evening of August 3, 1492, Columbus departed from Palos with three ships; one larger carrack, Santa MarÃa, nicknamed Gallega (the Gallician), and two smaller caravels, Pinta (the Painted) and Santa Clara, nicknamed Niña (the Girl).

the Nina, the Pinta and the Santa Maria. Chris was most likely on the Santa Maria, the biggest of the three, despite the fact that he didn't like the ship, claiming it too big to be able to navigate the small inlets as well as the two much, much smaller vessels.
Hey, The Corinthian, that's what we call him in Catalunya, Cristobal Colón
