Santa Maria (colloquial name La Gallega) is a Spanish sailing ship - caraca, launched probably at the beginning of the 15th century. The vessel was approximately 19 meters long and approximately 5.5 meters wide. The total displacement of the ship "Santa Maria" probably did not exceed 130-150 tons, and its crew numbered about 40 people. It was one of the three ships that participated in the expedition of Christopher Columbus in 1492. Santa Maria was a commercial unit, but had little artillery armament. She was also much larger than the 1492 escort ships Nina and Pinta, and therefore better equipped to cross the Atlantic. The detachment was also the flagship of the entire expedition. The most famous voyage in the history of the ship began when it left the port of Palos de la Frontera on August 3, 1492. Unfortunately, on December 25, 1492, the ship ran aground near Hispaniola and could not continue sailing. Santa Maria was partially dismantled by the crew and abandoned.
