Past: The Pinta and the Nina in Cape Girardeau

Riverfront Park

The 'Pinta' and the 'Nina', replicas of Columbus' Ships, will sail to Cape Girardeau. The ships will be docked at Riverfront Park. The 'Pinta' and the 'Nina' will be available for tours. The ‘Nina’ was built completely by hand and without the use of power tools. Archaeology magazine called the ship “the most historically correct Columbus replica ever built.” In 2005, the ‘Pinta’, also a caravel, was launched in Brazil and was the first ship to sight land in the New World. Historians consider the caravel the Space Shuttle of the fifteenth century. Both ships tour together as a new and enhanced ‘sailing museum’ for the purpose of educating the public and school children on the ‘caravel’, a Portuguese ship used by Columbus and many early explorers to discover the world. Before him, the Old World and the New remained separate and distinct continents and ever since their fates have been bound together for better or for worse. While in port, the general public is invited to visit the ships for a walk-aboard, self-guided tour. Admission charges are $8 for adults, $7 for seniors, and $6 for students from 5 to 16. Children 4 years old and younger are Free. The ships are open every day from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. No reservations necessary.
