| Christopher Columbus on Santa Maria in 1492. |
La Santa María de la Inmaculada Concepción (
Spanish for
The Saint Mary of the Immaculate Conception), was the largest of the three ships used by
Christopher Columbus in his first voyage. Her master and owner was
Juan de la Cosa. The Santa María was probably a medium sized nao (
carrack) ,
about 60 feet long on deck,
"very little larger than 100 toneladas" (100 tons), and was used as the
flagship for the expedition. The other ships of the
Columbus expedition were the smaller caravel-type ships
Santa Clara, remembered as
La Niña (
"The Girl"), and
La Pinta (
"The Painted One"). All these ships were
second-hand (if not
third or more) and were never meant for exploration.
The Niña, Pinta, and the Santa María were modest sized merchant vessels comparable in size to a modern yacht, and not the largest ships in Europe at the time. They were smaller trade ships greatly surpassed in size by ships like the
Great Michael, built in
Scotland in 1511 with a length of
73.2 m (240 ft), and a crew of
300 sailors, 120 gunners, and up to 1,000 soldiers. The
Peter von Danzig of the Hanseatic League was built in
1462 and was
51 m (167.3 ft) long. Another large ship, the
English carrack
Grace Dieu, was built during the period
1420–1439, was
66.4 m (218 ft) long, and weighed between
1,400 tons and 2,750 tons. The reason size is mentioned is that
Columbus' three ships were built to sail the
Mediterranean sea, not the open ocean. This says a great deal about the
courage of Columbus and his crew. -

A Santa Maria, anteriormente chamada de
La Gallega, foi a nau, do tipo carraca, capitânia do
Almirante Cristóvão Colombo na viagem em que, navegando para Oeste pelo
Oceano Atlântico, veio a
descobrir o continente americano (1492).
De propriedade do mestre
Juan de la Cosa, morador das vizinhanças do porto de
Palos de la Frontera, e que a pilotava nesta viagem, era considerada pelo
Almirante como uma embarcação
pesada.
Sobre seu naufrágio -
A embarcação veio a encalhar num banco de areia, na
ilha de Hispaniola (atual
baía do Caracol, no Haiti), na noite de
25 de dezembro de 1492. Foram em vão as providências empreendidas para o seu resgate, tendo sido abatido o mastro e o porão esvaziado de mantimentos, sem sucesso.
No local de seu naufrágio, graças ao auxílio dos indígenas, foi providenciado o transbordo da carga e tripulantes para a
Niña, tendo
Colombo fundado, no local, o
Fuerte Navidad, que deixou guarnecido com trinta e nove homens. -
