Probably the most famous explorer to have a vessel named the "Santa Maria" is none other than Christopher Columbus. He set forth to find the orient with three ships: the Santa Maria, the Nina and the Pinta. The Santa Maria was actually named after a town that was named after the Blessed Virgin Mary. The ship was fitted out in El Puerto de Santa Maria which is located on the Gaudalete River outlet in the Bay of Cadiz in Spain. This was the winter berth and base for the Royal Galleys of Spain in the 16th and 17th centuries. Columbus choose the Santa Maria as his flagship.
