More than five centuries after Christopher Columbus’s flagship, the Santa Maria, was wrecked in the Caribbean, archaeological investigators think they may have discovered the vessel’s long-lost remains – lying at the bottom of the sea off the north coast of Haiti. It’s likely to be one of the world’s most important underwater archaeological discoveries.
The discovery has been backed up by 2003 researcher that pinpointed the probable location of Columbus's fort nearby. An expedition a decade ago led by Clifford had photographed the wreck - but had no idea the boat was the Santa Maria.

I like the fact that Columbus was searching for Atlantis and used stolen map copies from the ancient sea kings. The royalties at the time wanted the new Atlantis for themselves. Columbus was not the first but he was the first official flag carrier from the old world.
The story of finding the ship is great news...the Kensington Runestone still unproven.

The History Channel episode "Kensington Runestone" makes the connection between Christopher Columbus, Knights Template and the New World.
A hooked X on the signature of Christopher Columbus is EXACT match on the Kensington Runestone's runes.
So he was "prepared" for this expedition by KT and their secret maps...then he went King of Spain to have him fund the plot's goals.

He's talking about the show America Unearthed with Scott Wolter, first season. He's also got a book about it. I've watched AU, and I'm on the fence about Wolter, not sure if his theories are legit or bunk.
That'll be two cents, please, and I only take cash and no Canadian coins, thanks.

Sorry, Kensington Runestone is real...per Sir William Sinclair.
With all of Europe hunting-down your survivers, why would you leave any traces of your escape?
The hooked X appears in every trace that was left for everyone to see that was Knights Templar remnent...why didn't you see? Have you not read about Rosalind Chapel?
