Stacia Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Just wanted to mention that if you live in TN, MS, or AL (or the surrounding areas), you may want to check the schedule & see if the Nina & Pinta replica ships will be near you. I took the dc to see this a few years ago (when it was just the Nina) & it was definitely worth a visit, esp. if you're studying Christopher Columbus or sailing ships from those times. It was actually pretty shocking to me how small the Nina really was. http://www.thenina.com/index.html Their port schedules are listed here: http://www.thenina.com/schedule.htm (FYI, I think they will do a guided tour if you reserve a group of 15+ people. Otherwise, it's just a self-guided visit on the ships.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornomom Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Thanks for the information. We live in Alabama, so we'll probably be able to get to one of these ports! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kidlit Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 We saw the ships a few weeks ago. They are fantastic! Definitely go if you're anywhere close enough! I posted pictures on my blog on my weekly report a few weeks ago. My blog link is in my siggy. I'd post a direct link to the post, but I'm on my iPod and don't know how.

Stacia Posted October 8, 2010 Author Share Posted October 8, 2010 I got this from a Chattanooga website: "While in port, the general public are invited to visit the ships for a walk aboard a self-guided tour. The prices are $7 for adults, $6 for senior citizens and $5 for students. Children 4 and under are free. The ship will be open everyday from 9am - 6pm. No reservations necessary. Teachers or organizations wishing to schedule a 30 minute guided tour with a crew member should call 1-787-672-2152. Minimum of 15. $4 per person. No maximum. Visit http://www.thenina.com for more information." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
