Santa Maria: Christopher Columbus's Historic Caravel, the Marigalante (1492) This image showcases the renowned Santa Maria, the flagship of Christopher Columbus's historic voyage across the Atlantic Ocean in 1492. Known originally as the Marigalante, this caravel, a type of Portuguese sailing ship, played a pivotal role in the discovery of the New World. The Santa Maria, depicted here in all her glory, was a significant vessel of its time, measuring around 36 meters (118 feet) in length and carrying an estimated cargo and crew of over 100 people. With its distinctive lateen sails and narrow, pointed bow, this caravel was well-suited for the long and arduous journey. As Columbus and his crew embarked on their expedition, they set sail from Palos de la Frontera in Spain on August 3, 1492. The Santa Maria, along with her sister ships, the Pinta and the Niña, braved the unknown waters of the Atlantic, eventually reaching the Bahamas in late October. Columbus's discovery of the New World marked the beginning of a new era in world history, paving the way for centuries of exploration, colonization, and cultural exchange. This evocative print, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of adventure, courage, and discovery. As we marvel at the intricate details of the Santa Maria, we are reminded of the indelible impact that this intrepid explorer and his crew had on the world as we know it today.
