Description
Historic research suggests that Spain's Santa Maria de la Vittoria -- with a displacement of nearly 300 tons -- was larger than a galleon and most likely classified as a carrack. In 1525, the massive warship was part of a Spanish expedition launched to install a governor in the Molucca Islands. It is believed that the Santa Maria de la Vittoria visited the Marshall Islands while en route to this archipelago situated south of the Philippines. However, her journey proved to be ill-fated. Upon the ship's arrival at the Moluccas, she was engaged in battle. The concussions of her own guns opened her seams to the sea.
