January 16, 2007The Nina, a replica of Christopher Colombus’ favorite ship, will make a port-call in Houma on Jan. 19 at the Downtown Marina. Built completely by hand in Bahia, Brazil by the Columbus Foundation, the ship has been called the “the most historically correct Columbus replica ever built” by Archaeology magazine.
The Nina has been traveling around the world since 1992, educating people young and old on the “caravel”nthe type of Portuguese ship used by Columbus and other early explorers.
Tri-parish residents will have an opportunity to tour the ship daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. until the Nina’s Jan. 29 departure date. Tickets are $5 for adults, $4 for senior citizens, and $3 for children.
