The history of SANTA MARIA MODEL SHIP
Flashback to 1492, this vintage and classic Santa Maria tall ship model remind you of his first voyage across the Atlantic Ocean which he was the largest of the three Spanish ships used by Christopher Columbus. Bringing the history vibe home with our historical gunboat, longboat and battle ship model collections.
Santa María, original name Marigalante, Christopher Columbus’ flagship on his first voyage to America. The Santa María was built in Pontevedra, Galicia, in Spain's north-west region. About 117 feet (36 metres) long, the “Santa María” had a deck, three masts, and forecastle and sterncastle and was armed with bombards that fired granite balls. She performed well in the voyage but ran aground off Haiti on Dec. 25, 1492, and was lost. Her sister ships, the “Niña” and “Pinta,” less than half her size, returned safely to Spain despite near catastrophe in storms.
