This is mine and I’m clearing some shelves. In good faith I’m saying used due to private ownership, but it’s still sealed. This is the vintage kit in that it was stamped in 1995. However, all the contents are sealed. None of the factory wrapping has been compromised. It was a shelf queen.

I’ve never worked on boats or repaired model boats so I’m not sure the process of getting this thing back to working order but a good boat hobbyist could do this very easily and it looks amazing in person.

The Santa María was probably a medium sized nao (carrack), about 60 feet long on deck, “very little larger than 100 toneladas” (100 tons), [1][2][3] and was used as the flagship for the expedition. The Peter von Danzig of the Hanseatic League was built in 1462 and was 51 m (167.3 ft) long. This says a great deal about the courage of Columbus and his crew. Flagship Santa María Issue of 1893 The Santa María was originally named La Gallega (“The Galician”), because she was built in Pontevedra, Galicia, in Spain’s north-west. Bartolomé de Las Casas never used La Gallega, Marigalante or Santa María in his writings, preferring to use la Capitana or La Nao. The Santa María had a single deck and three masts. She was the slowest of Columbus’s vessels but performed well in the Atlantic crossing. She ran aground off the present-day site of Cap-Haïtien, Haiti on December 25, 1492, and was lost. The anchor of the Santa María now resides in the Musée du Panthéon National Haitien (MUPANAH), in Port-au-Prince.

On August 1492, the Santa Maria, the Pinta and Nina started their voyage to the Americas from the Palos de la Frontera port on the southwest coast of Spain. After two months at sea, on October 12, the sailors finally saw land. There are no exact drawings of the Santa Maria, but it is estimated that the length of the hull was about 115 feet (35 meters) with a displacement of about 200 tons.
