The Wharf of the Caravels (Muelle de las Carabelas) museum, Huelva, Andalusia, Spain. The museums most prominent exhibits are replicas of Christopher Columbus's boats for his first voyage to the Americas, the Niña, the Pinta (both Caravels) and the Santa María (a Carrack). The Isla del Encuentro ("Island of the Encounter") attempts to recreate the world the crew of Columbus's first voyage encountered on their arrival at the island of Guanahani, where they first made landfall in the Americas. An effort has been made to represent the indigenous culture.
