• HISTORY OF NAO SANTA MARIA: WRONGLY CALLED CARAVEL Yes, it is possibly the most important ship in history because it was the one where Christopher Columbus was when he discovered America at the end of the fifteenth century, specifically, in 1492. Santa Maria Nao, wrongly called 'caravel' -the other smaller two boats were really caravels, La Niña and La Pinta-, although the three ships were considered caravels in the original documents.

• The adventure began not to discover a new continent, but to find a new safe route to the Pacific Ocean. The first stop was in Canary Islands, specifically, in La Gomera in order to collect more supplies and fix the damages that the nao could have, built with wood from Cantabria.

• In October 12th, after several crew riots, the cabin boy Rodrigo de Triana spotted 'land': first they arrived at Guanahani Island, which they called San Salvador, in the Bahamas archipelago, until it reached another one that he named La Española -currently, Haiti-, which did bring Santa Maria "tomb". During the night of December 24th, the nao remained stranded because of a sandbank, due to a malpractice of the lookout man.
