1492 Caravel Columbus Columbuss Lorgues Maria Santa
EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the historic caravel Santa Maria, also known as the Marigalante before its famous voyage, as it sets sail from the shores of La Rochelle, France, in 1492. Commissioned by the renowned explorer Christopher Columbus, the Santa Maria was the flagship of his fleet during his groundbreaking journey to the Americas. With three masts and a distinctive square-rigged sail plan, the caravel was a perfect vessel for Columbus's daring exploration of the unknown waters. The Santa Maria, built in the port of Palos de la Frontera in Spain, was a significant advancement in naval technology for the time. Its shallow draft and maneuverability allowed it to navigate the Atlantic Ocean's often treacherous waters, making it an ideal choice for Columbus's expedition. As Columbus and his crew set sail from La Rochelle on August 3, 1492, they embarked on a journey that would change the course of history. The Santa Maria and her two sister ships, the Pinta and the Niña, braved rough seas, faced numerous challenges, and eventually reached the Bahamas in October of that year. Columbus's discovery of the Americas marked the beginning of European exploration and colonization of the New World. This print, a testament to the rich history of exploration and discovery, transports us back to a time when the world was still a vast, uncharted expanse waiting to be explored. The Santa Maria, with its sails full and the sun setting behind it, embodies the spirit of adventure and the indomitable human desire to explore the unknown.
