Description

This is an injection-plastic sailing ship model kit.

To paraphase the fine folks at Revell on this cool kit:

The Santa Maria was a typical merchant vessel of the 15th century. Other than Noah's Ark, she is undoubtedly the best-known ship in the world. On September 9, 1492 Christopher Columbus set sail from the Canaries in search of a westerly sea route to India, on a voyage that was to become one of the greatest voyages of discovery in history. He chose the Santa Maria as the flagship of his little three-ship fleet. With a displacement of 100 tons and a crew of 52, she was the largest of the three ships. After an arduous voyage, on October 12 Columbus at last reached Watling Island in the Bahamas, believing it to be "one of the islands which are set down in the maps at the end of the Orient." On a subsequent reconnaissance trip the Santa Maria ran aground off Haiti. Her wood was ultimately used for the construction of a fort.
