Bill Nemitz: In fourteen hundred ninety-two, Columbus scarred the world anew The Nao Santa Maria drew plenty of Maine tourists last week. But living history this ship is not. Few words in the English language are as loaded as the three-letter conjunction “but.” As in, “I totally get how Native Americans feel about Christopher Columbus, I really do. But this is history! You can’t just erase history!” I heard numerous variations on that theme during a visit on Tuesday to Bucksport, where the Nao Santa Maria, a replica of the flagship sailed by Columbus during his first expedition to America in 1492, sat placidly at the public dock. The tranquil setting belied the cultural winds that have swirled around the vessel since its arrival in Maine 10 days ago.
