Trip to the Santa Maria

On Sunday 13th July, Jenny & I drove to Yarmouth and parked by the South Quay next to the ship and had an exploration on board the Santa Maria, a replica of Christopher Columbus's ship that had him and his crew circumvent across the Atlantic and 'discover' America. Built in the late 1400's, this remarkable feat of the shipmaker's craft and the Spanish were the widely acknowledge masters of shipbuilding at that time. We had a fantastic time on board ship and I will probably visit again before the week is out. Unfortunately, it is leaving Great Yarmouth on Sunday the 20th, so time is limited, if you are able to go, then this is highly recommended, admission of £10 per prson is well worth it!
