Christopher Columbus

CHAPTER XII
10/18

The third ship was a caravel of forty tons and called the Nina; she belonged to Juan Nino of Palos.

She was commanded by Vincenti Pinzon, and had a complement of eighteen men.

Among the crew of the flagship, whose names and places of residence are to be found in the Appendix, were an Englishman and an Irishman.

The Englishman is entered as Tallarte de Lajes (Ingles), who has been ingeniously identified with a possible Allard or AEthelwald of Winchelsea, there having been several generations of Allards who were sailors of Winchelsea in the fifteenth century.

Sir Clements Markham thinks that this Allard may have been trading to Coruna and have married and settled down at Lajes.
