It had no forecastle and it had a small quarter-deck. Christopher Columbus, S. Mary’s captain in the first historical expedition took the next Atlantic passage with Nina, which had a particularly strong construction, but with reduced length (a little shorter than 20 meters) at the mercy of the waves.
