Woodcut illustration showing Columbus ship
Columbus ship, the Santa Maria. Woodcut illustration from the book Epistola Christafor Columbi (1494) depicting a ship thought to be the Santa Maria.

The Santa Maria was his flagship, yet only displaced about 100 tons. The other two ships in his fleet, the Nina and the Pinta were even smaller
