Gallery: The Nina in Palmetto
03/13/08

SEE FULL GALLERY

Yards creaking and sails flapping, the Nina slowly made her way up the Manatee River.  It wasn't Columbus' original ship, of course, but a replica made for the production of the film '1492.'

Now, the vessel is a floating museum that travels the coastline of the USA educating the public about life aboard a sailing ship in the Age of Discovery.
