Nao Santa Maria

Galveston Island, Texas

The Nao Santa Maria (left) has been visiting Galveston for several weeks. It is moored next to the Elissa at the Seaport Museum.
The crew got their covid vaccinations while here in town.

Nao Santa Maria is a new replica of the Spanish three-masted deep water ship that was the flagship of Christopher Columbus’ exploration fleet.
Built in the Spanish province of Huelva during the 525thanniversary of the 1492 voyage, she was launched on March 15, 2018 as part of
the historic replica fleet of the Nao Victoria Foundation in Seville. A 95-foot nao, a centuries-old vessel type known in Britain as a carrack, she sails with a crew of 20.

So beautiful, and what a clever subject for 'modern', given it is a new ship (but very well replicated the old). V

A good looking photo of the two very different looking craft. V

Very nice detail in this image. When you look at these replicas it makes you wonder how they crossed the oceans in these, especially in rough weather. "V"

the Elissa is so clean and sleek, but the Santa Maria oozes character...one can sense a whiff of adventure here..

Love it but... Asking for a friend! Modern in the sense that it has an engine and propeller?
