The Pinta and the Nina stopped in Owensboro, KY for tours of these two replicas of the trio that Columbus used in his voyage of 1492 this week-end. It will travel upstream to Louisville for a stop there. The third ship was the Santa Maria, which was about twice the size of the smallest ship, the Nina. This is a great "exhibit." I think it will be on display til 5PM today, but if you can not see it this weekend, it will be available next weekend in Louisville. The fee of $7 per person is well worth it. Seniors get in for $6.
