Columbus Ships Pinta and Nina Arrive in Huntington Tuesday

 The ships open to the general public on Wednesday November 14th. The Nina was built by hand, without the use of power tools and  considered to be the most historically correct Columbus Replica ever built.  The Pinta was recently built in Brazil  and is a larger version of the archetypal caravel.   Historians consider the caravel  the Space Shuttle of the fifteenth century.
