Harbor find

We were driving around Corpus Christi Harbor this afternoon when we came upon this wooden ship anchored along the street.
Built in 1992 by the Spanish government, this exact replica of Christopher Columbus' ship Nina sailed across the Atlantic Ocean in commemoration of the 500th anniversary of Columbus's voyage. This ship and it's companions, the Santa Maria and the Pinta arrived in Corpus Christi in 1994. The other 2 ships are on display at the Museum of Science. We may have to check that exhibit out. Apparently they are open to guided tours. In addition, the museum has a display of artifacts from shipwrecked Spanish galleons that plyed these waters long ago.

This ship is very small and primitive. It is a wonder that Columbus made it all the way from Spain. What an uncomfortable cruise !!!
