Santa Maria Caravela
HOIST THE SAILS AND LET’S GO – FAMILY FUN FOR EVERYBODY!
This magnificent replica of Christopher Columbus’ flagship “SANTA MARIA” was built on the island of Madeira in the small fishing village of Câmara de Lobos.
Together with seven local craftsmen, Robert Wijntje, a Dutchman who has settled on Madeira, made his dream come true when he started building the Santa Maria in July 1997. The construction work took a year and was completed in July 1998. In the same year, the “SANTA MARIA DE COLOMBO” represented Madeira Wine at Expo 98 in Lisbon, where she was visited by 97,016 people in only 25 days.
