A boat from the Santa Maria took Columbus ashore.
The names "Niña ", "Pinta" and "Santa Maria", are currently applied to the ships of Columbus' first voyage in 1492.
On October 12, 1492, a lookout aboard the Pinta was first to sight land, an island in the Bahamas. As there were no developed harbors, the ships sent small boats to the beach. Columbus himself was aboard the Santa Maria and was aboard the first boat ashore.

∙ 15y agoThe three ships all traveled together with Christopher Columbus sailing on the largest boat, the "Santa Maria'. Because of the size of these ships, they could not come directly to shore. Columbus and a few fellow sailors (one being his brother and captain of the Nina) came ashore in a small row boat.
