Santa Maria Replica
May Be Restored
CHICAGO (UP.)—The replica
of the Santa Maria built for the
first Chicago world's fair in 1893
mav be returned to its original
condition, if $300,000 can be
found.
Rising costs make the repair
job a greater cash outlay than
that made by Isabella, Queen of
Spain, when she financed Col
umbia to a whole fleet, of which
the flagship was named the
Santa Maria.
Vincent L. Knaus, grand
knight of the Santa Maria coun
cil of the Knights of Columbus
of South Chicago, is determined
that the ship shall be saved.
Knaus wants it to be a reminder
of Columbus' discovery of Am
erica in 1492 and the world's
fair of 1893.
