The Niña & Pinta

I went to see replicas of the Niña and Pinta today. The first question on the FAQ they hand out: "Where's the Santa Maria?". They answer: They didn't make one, and they aren't going to. It's to big to go most of the places they take the Niña & Pinta, and Christopher Columbus didn't like it much either.

Those ships are quite small for the number of people they originally had on them, and the length of the voyages they went on. The replicas have diesel engines on them and take a much smaller crew.

How interesting. Did they allow you on board?

@seacreature - Yes, admission was $8.

What great things to see. Not much space on them.

Wonderful replicas to see even better to go aboard and see everything up close.

Aren't they beautiful, I wonder what Columbus would make of the monstrosities that sail on the seas these days....
