On Thursday 3 of November through the 7th, the replicas of Christopher Columbus’ ships (Nina, Pinta, yet excluding the Santa Maria) will be docked at Fort Loudon Marina.

This occurrence includes a self-guide tour and walk-through. The cost of admission for children between the ages of 5-16 is $6, $8 for adults, and $7 for senior citizens. The hours are from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

These historically accurate replicas have traveled the Gulf Coast, East Coast, the Great Lakes, and the Midwestern River System. On average, the sister ships tour 30 to 40 places (located in the United States) a year every year.

Make sure to voyage your way down to this event, as you will be taken aback by such an historic sight.
