My apology and compliments to the original answerer of this question, who responded with:

"200-600 tons"

I have decided to improve this answer because I believe that the information provided in the original answer is inaccurate and, in any case, too vague to be meaningful.

The Santa Maria was the largest of the three ships in the original fleet. Even so, all three ships were tiny because Columbus could not get enough funding to have larger ships. To give you an idea of just how tiny, the Santa Maria carried 52 men in a space that was designed to comfortably accommodate about 15 men. Most of the crew had to take turns sleeping on the deck. It was an uncomfortable and almost suicidal voyage and Columbus was faced with near mutiny on several occasions.

The dimensions of the ship are believed to have been 90 feet long by 20 feet wide at the widest point, with a maximum tonnage of 100 tons, and this was still much larger than the other two vessels, which would have had less than half of that capacity.

What is the difference between length and width?

Length is how long or tall something is and width is how wide it is. It's sometimes fairly arbitrary which direction is the length and which is the width. But usually it's more natural to let the length be the longer direction. It's also common to talk about "width and height" instead of "length and width." In this case, height is usually vertical, and width horizontal.
