shantaram says: The ships for the first voyage were the Nina, Pinta, and Santa Maria. The little fleet left on August 3rd,1492. You may find out the day of the week. Mon Oct 22 20:29:46 CDT 2001 I forgot to mention that the date is from encyclopaedia britannica online. Mon Oct 22 20:30:57 CDT 2001 August 3rd,1492 works out to be a FRIDAY. Mon Oct 22 20:36:43 CDT 2001 (Reposted as one entry - McG)
