Pinta was the fastest of the 3 vessels used, and from it, Rodrigo de Triana (real name Juan Rodríguez Bermejo) saw America's land for the first time. Also Pinta was the first to reach back Spain and give the news of the discovery (in fact they still thought was India, not a new continent). The name Pinta can be translated as "painted" or "coloured", but some versions point to it was after late owner's family Pinto.
