Post a CommentI had small replicas of these when I was a kid. I wonder what happened to those things? They were so awesome!!!
great photos of these historic ships
This must have been great to see. I enjoyed the pics immensely.
Sorry Abby, no Santa Maria here. The deep draft on the ship makes it unable to travel fully with this duo.
Mike, the ships are tiny. Deck length for the Nina is only 65'. I've got an article in the queue on them.
Excellent photos. These ships actually look fairly small, which makes it all the more amazing that they "crossed the ocean blue" in 1492.
Gayle, your travels have given me a great education!
