With a length of only 70 feet, three masts and a single deck was in retrospect a surprisingly small (caravels Nina and Pinta were much smaller but still) really was not built for the expedition, and was taken in the "second-hand". Santa Maria wrecked December 25, 1492 off the coast of Haiti; as unrecoverable were dismantled and the wood used later for building settlements Môle Saint-Nicolas.

As the ship actually looked exactly is not known at present, there are several replicas of greatly differing appearance. Our model represents general a manner accepted version Karak (or "nao") from the late 15th century.
