La Santa Marde la Inmaculada Concepcion (Spanish for: The Holy Mary of the Immaculate

Christopher Columbus in his first voyage. Her master and owner was Juan de la Cosa.
Santa Maria was built in Pontevedra, Galicia, in Spain's north-west region. Santa Marwas
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"
