Model of the Santa Maria ship on a base - the Santa Maria was the largest of the three Spanish ships Christopher Columbus used on his first voyage across the Atlantic Ocean in 1492. The ship has three masts with cross-masts bearing their own individual sails, all of which are painted - the foremost one has the image of two monarchs in a red oval surrounded by yellow rays, the mid-ship sail has the image of a red cross with a banner above it bearing the name of the ship, and the aft one has an oval with alternating red and white stripes. The front and middle masts also have smaller flags at the tops - the flag for the aft mast has come off and is on the raised deck behind the mast. The main body of the ship is painted red and blue and a cannon is pointing out the side - a hole on the other side suggests there was a second one but is now missing. There is a red-painted wooden lantern at the back. The whole ship sits on a wooden support.
