Description
In the heart of the 15th century, the Santa Maria sailed the oceans as the undisputed queen of Christopher Columbus’ fleet.
Boldly navigating towards the unknown, this majestic ship was destined to write indelible pages in the history of navigation. Called “Nao” by Columbus himself, the Santa Maria represented the promise of new worlds and extraordinary discoveries. Originally known as La Gallega and owned by Juan de la Cosa, the Santa Maria was the focal point of one of the most daring expeditions in history.
During its legendary voyage in 1492, the Santa Maria and its crew embarked on an epic adventure across the oceans, braving storms and the unknown.
Their determination and courage paved the way for the discovery of a new continent and forever changed the course of history.
Although it met a tragic end, with a shipwreck off the coast of the island of Hispaniola, its legendary status has remained intact over the centuries, inspiring generations of explorers and sailors.
The Santa Maria remains an eternal symbol of exploration and adventure. Beyond its famous expedition with Columbus, the ship has an important history that goes beyond its role as the flagship in the discovery of the Americas.
After its tragic shipwreck, the Santa Maria continued to inspire the minds and hearts of those who dream of adventure and discovery – sailors, explorers, and artists around the world. Its story continues to live through the generations, leaving an indelible mark on human history and fueling our thirst for knowledge and discovery.
