Artesania Latina Santa Maria 1492

The Artesania Latina Santa Maria wooden ship model accurately recreates the real life ship that, together with the Pinta and Nina, is famous the world over for its part in Columbus's discovery of the New World on 12th October, 1492. On Christmas Eve of that year it broke up off the coast of Haiti and its timbers were subsequently used to build Fort Navidad, the first European colony. Artesania Latina wanted to participate in the commemoration of Columbus' discovery, and what better way than to create a beautiful model of the Santa Maria. When complete this wooden boat kit has a length of 560 mm height of 485 mm and beam of 160 mm. The kit also comes with a set of pre-sewn sails.
