The original Nina and Pinta traveled with Columbus, who rode on the Santa Maria, to the New World and ushered in a new age of exploration as conquistadors from Spain and explorers from Holland, England and France sought new territory in the rich fertile lands of North and South America. The ships are here on a 20-city tour that takes them from New York all the way to Wisconsin. These full-scale replicas of the original Nina and Pinta, which made the historic journey with the Santa Maria in 1492, are open to the public just in time for Columbus Day as well.
Travel back in time and step aboard the Nina and Pinta, both docked at Station Square until Oct.
12, at which point they will sail to Charleston West Virginia. The ships are open to the public until Oct. By Bridget Seelinger | the Duquesne Duke Zachary Landau | the Duquesne Duke
