“the world's most authentic replica of Christopher Columbus' flagship”
*Note: The Santa Maria ship Museum is currently closed during reconstruction of the Scioto River and the GreenWay Dam Project. She will reopen in Spring 2016.*
The World was forever changed when, in 1492, Christopher Columbus set sail searching for a direct trade route to the Indies. Carrying him was the Santa Maria, a 98-foot wooden "nao", or typical cargo ship.
More than 500 years later, you can tour the world's most authentic, museum-quality replica of Christopher Columbus' flagship. Guided tours dramatize the daring and determination it took for these explorers to set out on their mission. Fascinating displays show the far-ranging impact of the encounter of two worlds that existed in 1492.
