Illustration for Juan de la Cosa. Reproduction of the Santa Maria, Naval Museum of the Louvre. Back inscription: "Another fact which brings Santona before American interest resides in the fact that the 'vessel' which discovered us was built at Santona with wood from ‘over the way'--Laredo--but designed and built and owned by Juan de La Cosa. When Columbus was fitting out this expedition the Santa-Maria was at Huelva [?]. He promptly spotted her nautical qualities and entered into negotiations for her acquisition with her owner, Juan de La Cosa who was to pilot the Santa-Maria, the Pinta and the Nina to the New World. The photograph of the Santa-Maria is that of the ‘nef' which has just been placed in the Naval Museum of the Louvre and is a faithful reproduction of the all-famous ship--as famous in fact as Noah's ark. From Geo. H. Seldes”, circa 1920
