The Niña – Most Historically Accurate Columbus Replica Ship Ever Built
The Niña is a replica of the ship on which Columbus sailed across the Atlantic on his three voyages of discovery to the new world beginning in 1492. Columbus sailed the tiny ship over 25,000 miles. That ship was last heard of in 1501, but the new Niña has a different mission. We are a floating museum, and we visit ports all over the Western Hemisphere .
Pinta – Our Second Columbus Replica Ship
Pinta was recently built in Brazil to accompany the Nina on all of her travels. She is a larger version of the archetypal caravel and offers larger deck space for walk-aboard tours and has a 40 ft air conditioned main cabin down below with seating. Pinta is available for private parties and charters.

We just started studying Columbus and American History. I don’t think they’ll be anyone near us, though.

Oh well, but I was surprised at how well traveled these ships are. I would have thought it would be harder to sail them around the US than it is.

We won’t be studying Columbus until after this has already passed by, BUT how could we pass up on going to it when it is less than five minutes from home?!?!?!?!

Kelli,
That is a little close! Some of us have to drive a good bit. 🙁 But then Guntersville is such a nice area anyway. Much better than sitting with a text book, especially for the boys.
