Ship: The Santa Maria
Santa Maria – Handcrafted Wooden Model Ship (1:65 Scale)
This handcrafted wooden model of the Santa Maria (from Amati) brings to life one of the most famous ships in maritime history. As the flagship of Christopher Columbus' first voyage in 1492, the Santa Maria played a pivotal role in the Age of Exploration. This 1:65 scale model is carefully constructed with high-quality materials, combining historical accuracy with fine craftsmanship.
The model features a rich, dark-weathered hull, giving it the look of a well-traveled vessel, while the fully rigged sails add to its authenticity. A mix of furled and open sails showcases the ship’s natural movement, and the detailed deck elements, including rigging, belaying pins, and coiled ropes, highlight the intricate work involved in its construction.
This model is perfect for history enthusiasts, maritime collectors, and model ship lovers looking for a unique and elegant display piece. The Santa Maria is more than just a model—it’s a tribute to the spirit of adventure that shaped the world.
Dimensions: 92 cm length x 35 width cm x 75 cm heigth

Due to the delicate nature of a model ship, this piece is available for local pickup only in Belgium (I do not feel comfortable shipping it by mail). Given the nearly 250 hours of craftsmanship invested in its construction and the personal value I attach to each completed model, it is impossible to determine a realistic price. Only serious offers will be considered.
