Having been on a replica of the Nina (Santa Clara), I just tip my hat every time to the seamen who went with Columbus. Tiny little thing. Looked large compared with the expensive power boats and other rigs along the river channel in Grand Haven, in part because it stuck up much higher, but once aboard, it's clear and obvious that there wasn't much room. And the replica had some space taken up by the modern bathroom facilities required in our day. :^)

The Titanic even looks small next to the crazy-big cruise ships built nowadays.
