The Spanish ship, the Nao Santa Maria graced our shores in Newburyport, MA earlier this month. She is a replica of the Santa Maria which was one of the 3 ships Columbus in 1492 and the rest - as we say - is history!
This 3 mast tall ship is almost 100 feet long and weighs almost 200 tons! The Nao Santa Maria has only been sailing a year now as construction of it was completed in March of 2018.
