Nao Santa Maria
Santa Maria, Beaufort, SC
I've seen the Nao Santa Maria three times. Once, many years ago with along with the Nina and Pinta in the Charleston Harbor. A few years later I was in New York City up inside the top of the statue of Liberty and watched them sail past us. This time I caught a ride down to Beaufort, SC and happened to see the Santa Maria docked at the waterfront park yesterday. It amazes me each time how very small the ship is.
Oh, it's teensy, innit? How adorable! Makes me want to book it for a champagne cruise 'round the harbor (only if an attack by handsome pirates is included with the deal, of course!).
