Along with the Niña and Pinta, the Santa Maria set sail in 1492 from Spain. Intended to be the flagship with personal quarters for Columbus, the ship was 70 feet long and carried up to 40 crewmen. A carrack design, or a 3- to 4-masted sailing ship, created this payload capacity and made it ideal for its ocean-going mission. Unfortunately, it met its end when it was run aground on a reef in the Caribbean. The vessel was subsequently partially dismantled to build a fort for the crew and the rest was left abandoned, never to be found. Many have claimed to know the ship's location, but these claims have remained unsubstantiated. Coin Silver
