History: Christopher Columbus

It seems nobody understood my "Las Tres Carabelas de Cristóbal Colón".
The three ships Columbus came to America in were called:" Santa María", "Pinta" and" La Niña"
When something surprises you, you could say. "My good Lord or "Jesus" etc. In Spanish you could say.: "Mi Dios", "Dios Mió " or any name of a saint . In this case, "Santa María".
The word "pinta" means "good looks" and " Niña " is of course a girl.
So "¡Santa María, qué pinta tiene la niña! would mean :
Jesus, what good looks this girl has!
..................And of course using the name of Columbus's three ships. Real creativity!
