| During 1991 she was converted
to the 15th century Caravel ‘Santa Maria’
for Ridley Scott’s film ‘1492 Conquest of
Paradise’. The ship was known as Santa Maria until,
in 1996, due to increasing demand for period square-riggers,
she was converted into a 2 masted Brig and reverted
to her original name ‘Phoenix of Dell Quay’. |
