Nina




Last Saturday we went to the riverfront in Portland to check out a replica of the ship the Nina....it was pretty neat......


The Niña - Most Historically Accurate Columbus Ship Replica 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 United States.

That is a small ship, I would have thought it would have been a lot bigger. Thanks for sharing this with us.
