In Honor Of Columbus Day.... The Niina

cool

can you even imagine????

How is this for a Columbus Day oddity-last month I was in the radiology reading room and they have a big bin full of xrays. I was sifting through them, and there were three different last names I came across nestled right by each other-Nina, Pinta and San Maria! I know it was Santa Maria, but that was close enough

can you even imagine????

I saw and toured similar replica when I was 10 or so. Even back then my 1st words were "Is this it"..... "They sailed the ocean blue in this?!?"

I have heard some pretty unusual names from some ER Nurses :funn:

A crew of 27 slept on the deck in all sorts of weather for the length of the voyage. Wonder is there was a smell

RiverOtter-

The Nina (replica) came to Fort Walton Beach and of course I went to check it out there. Great experience!

I could not belive how TINY it was. Can you imagine that people crossed an ocean in that?....and at a time when ships didn't venture far from the sight of land usually.

I'm glad you brought your camera along - I forgot mine and the whole time I was there I was wishing I could take some pics.

I have a picture of my son on this when it came to Ditto Landing several years ago. I was in awe of it.

Great pictures RO!!!!
