    THE "SANTA MARIA" CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS
    La Santa Marde la Inmaculada Concepci, or La Santa Mar, originally La Gallega, was the largest of
    the three ships used by Christopher Columbus in his first voyage. Her master and owner was Juan de la
    Cosa.
    Santa Marwas built in Pontevedra, Galicia, in Spain's north-west region and was probably a medium-sized
    nau (carrack), about 58 ft (17.7 m) long on deck, and according to Juan Escalante de Mendoza in 1575,
    Santa Maria was "very little larger than 100 toneladas" (about 100 tons, or tuns) burthen, or burden,
    and was used as the flagship for the expedition. Santa Marhad a single deck and three small masts.
    The other ships of the Columbus expedition were the smaller caravel-type ships Santa Clara, remembered
    as La Ni("The Girl"), and La Pinta ("The Painted"). All these ships were second-hand (if not third- or
    more) and were not intended for exploration. Ni, Pinta, and the Santa Marwere modest-sized
    merchant vessels comparable in size to a modern cruising yacht
