Summary "La nao Santa María: memória de la Comissão arqueológica executiva, 1892" is a historical account that chronicles the reconstruction of the famous ship from Columbus's first voyage to the Americas, written in the late 19th century. The text discusses the intricate details of the ship's design, construction, and historical significance, shedding light on the maritime technology of the time. This work aims to provide an accurate representation of the Santa María, focusing on its dimensions, construction materials, and the equipment used during the voyage. The opening of the work introduces the purpose behind the reconstruction of the Santa María as part of the celebrations for the 400th anniversary of Columbus's voyage. It outlines the confusion surrounding the historical understanding of the ship and emphasizes the work of various scholars who aimed to clarify its design and specifications. The narrative describes the project initiated by the Spanish Ministry of Navy, which established a commission to meticulously study historical documents and other resources before constructing a new version of the Santa María in the Arsenal of Carraca. The opening sets the stage for a comprehensive exploration of the ship's architecture and the broader historical context, inviting readers to delve into the maritime heritage of Spain.
