The Phoenix is a ship built by Hjorne & Jakobsen at Frederikshavn, Denmark, in 1929, originally as an Evangelical Mission Schooner.

Twenty years after her construction, she was retired from missionary work and carried cargo until her engine room was damaged by fire. In 1974 she was bought by new owners, who converted her into a brigantine. In 1988, she was purchased by Square Sail. A first aid overhaul enabled her to sail back to the United Kingdom, where she underwent a complete refit.^[1]

In 1991 she was converted to the likeness of the 15th-century caravel Santa Maria for Ridley Scott's film 1492: Conquest of Paradise. She was known as Santa Maria until, in 1996, because of increasing demand for period square-riggers, she was converted into a two-masted brig and regained her original name, Phoenix of Dell Quay.^[2]
