Replicas of the Nina and the Pinta

On Saturday, October 2, there were two replicas of two of the three ships of Columbus at Ditto Landing in Huntsville, Al. Motivated by interest and extra credit in two classes, I checked them out. I got cool pictures.

Please excuse this photo for being sideways but this is me in front of the Pinta. The Pinta was the middle sized ship of the three (only to the Santa Maria so therefore, the larger of the two shown at the Landing). You can't see the flags but there was the Spanish flag during the time of Columbus's journey.

This is another sideways picture. Please excuse my terrible smile, the sun was in my eyes. Anyhoo, this is me aboard the upper deck of the Pinta. Here, you have a nice view of modern fishing boats. Below was a gift shop and some pillars so personally, I thought the little space on the upper deck was better.

Across the pond is the Nina. It was quite a small boat, and since it was crowded, I decided not to take this picture on it but I did go aboard. This ship was also lower but it actually had an emergency canoe on it. I guess it is due to the fact that this one is vulnerable. Instead of taking up one giant ramp like I did on the Pinta, getting on the Nina was only five steps and it was wide enough to create two lanes. Ok, I'm just rambling so I'll get to my final picture which doesn't concern the ships but Ditto Landing.

All over Ditto Landing are these annoying Donalds and Daffys that wouldn't stop quacking. I have rarely been to Ditto Landing so I haven't noticed these animals at all.
In conclusion, these ships were great and I applaud whoever constructed them.
