Heller - 1/75 SANTA MARIA
Christopher Columbus, an Italian navigator living in Portugal, was fascinated by geography and wanted to find a new route to India by sailing west. After the kings of Portugal, England, and France refused to support his plan, Columbus turned to the Spanish monarchs, who appointed him admiral of an expedition consisting of three caravels: the Niña, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria. After a voyage of several months, Columbus discovered the Bahamas on October 12, 1492.
