Did You Know?
The Santa Maria was one of the three ships that Christopher Columbus used on his first voyage to the Americas in 1492? The Santa Maria, known as a caravel, was the largest of the three vessels and played a pivotal role in the exploration of the New World. Unfortunately, during the voyage, it ran aground on December 25, 1492, off the coast of what is now Haiti. Columbus ordered the salvaged timbers to be used in the construction of a fort, marking the beginning of European settlement in the Americas. The Santa Maria’s journey is a key moment in the history of exploration, as it paved the way for subsequent European expeditions and the eventual colonisation of the Americas.
