This photo shows a replica of the Santa Maria,
one of three boats Christopher Columbus used on his voyage from
Spain to Cuba in 1492. The replica contained numerous relics
of that voyage, including a table and inkstand used by Columbus,
nautical instruments of the day, and a flag presented by Ferdinand
and Isabella, the Spanish King and Queen who financed Columbus's
exposition to America.
