Replicas Of Columbus' Nina, Pinta Dock In Pittsburgh - News Story - WPXI Pittsburgh

Replicas Of Columbus' Nina, Pinta Dock In Pittsburgh - News Story - WPXI Pittsburgh I think this is a great opportunity for Pittsburghers to physically touch history. It's amazing how small the ships are, I cannot imagine setting out across the ocean looking for new territories in something this small.




These replicas remind me of The Mayflower replica which is docked at Plymouth Harbor in Massachusetts. I have always enjoyed history and here's an opportunity to see it up close and personal.

Oh I wish I was there to see these! I'm big on history myself and these look like awesome pieces. I have to agree, they are tiny! For some reason, I always pictured these huge ships....

Is the submarine still docked outside of the Science Center?
