A model in full sail of Christopher Columbus' “Santa Maria”, which, by the way, wasn't a caravel but a carrack. The ship models exhibition is on display at the “Tuttovela” village in occasion of the 29th “Trofeo Accademia Navale” (Naval Academy Trophy), taking place in Livorno in these days.Search labels: TAN - Tuttovela

A wonderful model.
Very nice. That would be a great exhibition to see.
Have fun at TAN.
So that's the famous Santa Maria!
Is that a sail UNDER the bowsprit??
Love models of sailships, find them so enticing!
God bless you!

Then I shall enjoy the coming days! :-)
This is so great VP. I love little models.
i love how the water is created beneath the ship.
Great shot! I really like it. FYI and as a curious fact, Cristopher Columbus died in my town, Valladolid.
Cool model. Is that how the sails really looked? I wouldn't have imagined them with the crosses.
This is one exhibition that would be brilliant to see. Love the old ships.
Believe it or not, I didn't know the difference between the two. Shame on me!... So, the carrack is what we call a 'nau'. Thanks, VP.
Always enjoy your sea lore.
