Embark on the ultimate modeling adventure by recreating the Santa Maria, the legendary flagship of Christopher Columbus's 1492 voyage that changed the course of world history. This highly detailed kit allows you to bring this pivotal piece of maritime history to life on your workbench.
1. Unparalleled Historical Authenticity
Step into the Age of Discovery with a model rooted in genuine history.
The Santa Maria, the largest of Columbus’s three ships (alongside the Niña and Pinta), was the vessel upon which the explorer recorded his historic observations.
The design is based on archival sources, scientific reconstructions, and historical descriptions to authentically reproduce the appearance of this late-15th-century nao or heavy merchant caravel.
Explore the details of a vessel with high sides and a displacement of about 100 tons, equipped for the epic journey across the Atlantic.
A Legacy Rebuilt
Learn the story as you build. The Santa Maria's voyage led to the discovery of the Bahamas, Cuba, and Hispaniola. Though the ship was lost on Christmas Eve 1492, its remains were used to construct La Navidad, the first European settlement in the New World. Your finished model will be a proud testament to this powerful legacy.
