Description

This is a replica of Columbus's ship "Pinta," docked in the Charlotte Harbor in Florida for a time. It and its companion ship, the "Nina," were built in Valenca, Brazil, using only adzes, axes, hand saws, and chisels, in addition to naturally shaped timbers from the local forest and reproduce these caravels as they would have looked at the time.

Thanks, everyone. Wish I could have seen these ships under full sail, as they would have been, but in the harbor, they said, it was just too dangerous, and they came in with engine power. #10002853
