Makeup

What exactly is meant by the following line:

Pinta ("The Painted" – this might be a reference to excessive makeup) kgkg,fufujngjnftujeunb Who's makeup? The ship's, or a person's?

This is probably a pun... like the Niña. It seems clear to me that at that time the tradition was to gave ship girls names or nicknames.... Ericd 12:31, 27 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Length

Which is the correct length?

"The Santa María was a small carrack, or "Nao" around 70 feet..."

or

"The ship was about 82 ft long, had a deck and three masts."

Do these even apply to the same ship?

Also, both this entry and the entry for the Pinta claim to be the smallest of the three ships. Either one of them is wrong, or they should both be updated to state uncertainty. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.4.244.154 (talk) 06:40, 6 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Who knows ? Did someone know the exact size ? Seller or Buyer ? The buyer is a guy trying to find a new world with second-hand ships and small budget... and the ships made the job.

Nicknames and real names... People making business... Self-advertising, trade secrets and Fuzziness...

And who care ? What's the exact length of my car, what's the exact surface of my home... I don't know... I just love my car and my home.
