La Pinta, La Nina, but Not La Santa Maria, Columbus Ship Replicas in Historic Lewes, Delaware Beaches
At the Town Dock on Front Street, Lewes
Susan and I were taken by surprise as we took in Lewes’ restaurants, shops and the scenery when we came upon these vessels.
They were dark and mysterious. Could they have been pirate ships? Then, we saw the names; La Nina and La Pinta. Columbus’ Ships.
These replicas will be opening to the public, Friday, June 8th, from 9 a.m. until 6 p.m. They are docked at the Town Dock, located on Front Street, in Historic Dowtown Lewes.
La Nina
Walk aboard on a self-guided tour. Admission is $8 for adults, $7 for seniors, and $6 for students 5 – 16 years of age. Four years of age and under are Free.
No reservations are necessary; just head out to Lewes, this week-end, because they will be leaving very early on Monday, June 11th.
Organizations and teachers interested to schedule a 30 minute guided tour, please call 787-672-2152.
La Pinta
The sailors were coming out; Susan and I were talking to them. We wanted to find out the reason why La Santa Maria was not there. La Santa Maria was the largest one, and too big to build a replica.
One yelled back that they were on their way to take showers. Authentic!! Susan yelled.
Great day in Lewes, as usual with a good friend!!
