Читать книгу The Lost Diary of Christopher Columbus’s Lookout - Clive Dickinson - Страница 13

This last month has gone in a flash. I’m still sleeping in the monastery at night, but during the day I’m down at the river helping to get ready for the voyage.

My main job has been writing down details about the crews. We’ve got about forty men on board the flagship, the Santa Maria. It’s hard to keep track because among the crew are eleven Juans and four Diegos, Pedros and Rodrigos.

There are seven Juans aboard the Pinta with Captain Martin Alonso Pinzon. Altogether I make it twenty-six for the crew of the Pinta.

The Niña has got around twenty men. The captain is Vicente Yanez Pinzon. He’s only got four Juans in his crew.
