  Santa Maria Ship Model
measures: 35"L x 28"T x 16"WClick here to see detailed photos!
The world was forever changed
when, in 1492, Christopher Columbus set sail searching for a direct trade route
to the Indies but instead discovered the Americas. Carrying him was the Santa
Maria, a 98-foot wooden cargo ship.
The flagship Santa Maria had the nickname La Gallega. It was a nao, which simply
means "ship" in old Spanish; today, we might call such a ship a carrack.
She was fat and slow, designed for hauling cargo, not for exploration.
