      Oh hell no. I toured an authentic recreation of La Niña. It’s so small as to be terrifying. People had to sleep on the deck so the more valuable animals got the hold. Don’t have the cojones to get out of site of land on that toy boat.

      NOTE: Doesn’t look as small in those pics as it feels IRL.

        There’s a replica of a ship called Duyfken that the Dutch used to sail from Dutchland to Western Australia (a very long way, journey takes like a year) and it’s tiny. I’d throw myself overboard within a week.
