Santa Maria 1/72 static boat

The Santa Maria served as Christopher Columbus' flagship during his first voyage to America. In August 1492, the Santa Maria, along with the Pinta and the Niña, embarked on their journey to the New World from the port of Palos de la Frontera on the southwest coast of Spain. After two months, on October 12th, the crew spotted land. While there are no precise drawings of the Santa Maria, it is believed that the ship's hull was approximately 35 meters long with a displacement of around 200 tons.
