Folks along the Sacramento River got a treat Tuesday as the Nina sailed up-river to dock in Old Sacramento. Debbie shot these great photos.
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."

I'm so amazed about this story. The ship looks so small, and I guess it really was a small ship.
Awesome shots! How'd you like to cross the atlantic in that thing? No theme drinks, no bingo, no lobster dinner, plenty of scurvy...
I love the first pic very much. Nice shot.
