The Santa Maria's overall keel length was 115 feet. But the length of her waterline (LWL) was only about 72 feet, which gives her a theoretical maximum hull speed of only 11.3 knots. The other ships were smaller and sleeker, and therefore faster. See http://www.answers.com/topic/nina-pinta-and-santa-maria
The Pinta and the Santa Maria were two of the three ships that accompanied Christopher Columbus on his first voyage to the New World in 1492. The Santa Maria was the largest ship and served as Columbus's flagship, while the Pinta was known for its speed and agility. The third ship was the Niña. Together, these ships set sail from Spain in search of a westward route to Asia, ultimately leading to the discovery of the Americas.
The Santa Maria, one of Christopher Columbus's ships, had an average speed of about 4 to 5 knots (approximately 4.6 to 5.8 miles per hour or 7.4 to 9.3 kilometers per hour) during its voyages across the Atlantic. This speed was typical for the sailing ships of that era, which relied on wind conditions and currents for propulsion. The journey from Spain to the Americas took several weeks, reflecting both the ship's speed and the challenges of navigation at the time.

Average speed is an average value of speed over a given time. If your speed is constant (not changing), then your average speed will equal your speed at any given moment in time.
Average Speed is different from average speed becoz speed is particular while avera speed is the total distance divided from time
I would call it current speed, not average speed.
Santa's estimated travel speed is at least 32,000 miles per hour.
average speed = distance / time
Instantaneous speed is the speed at a particular moment in time.The average speed of an object tells you the (average) rate at which it covers distance
Average speed = Total distance / Total time
