• Location: Docking at Ponce Inlet Harbor and restaurant at 133 Inlet Harbor road.

On Wednesday the 12th of March, the ‘Pinta’ and the ‘Nina’, replicas of Columbus’ Ships, will open in Ponce Inlet, FL through Tuesday the 18th of March. Docking at Ponce Inlet Harbor and restaurant at 133 Inlet Harbor road.
The ‘Nina’ was built completely by hand and without the use of power tools. Archaeology magazine called the ship “the most historically correct Columbus replica ever built.” The “Pinta” was recently built in Brazil to accompany the Nina on all of her travels. She is a larger version of the archetypal caravel. Historians consider the caravel the Space Shuttle of the fifteenth century.
Both ships tour together as a new and enhanced ‘sailing museum’ for the purpose of educating the public and school children on the ‘caravel’, a Portuguese ship used by Columbus and many early explorers to discover the world.
While in port, the general public is invited to visit the ships for a walk-aboard, self-guided tour. Admission charges are $8.00 for adults, $ 7.00 for seniors, and $6.00 for students 5 - 16. Children 4 and under are Free. The ships are open every day from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. No reservations necessary.
Teachers or organizations wishing to schedule a 30 minute guided tour with a crew member should call 1 787 672 2152 or email columfnd1492@gmail.com . Minimum of 15. $5.00 per person. No Maximum.

It is a great place to visit so that the kids can learn about pioneer history.  The field trips are guided tours which is really cool and the kids participate in many activities, such as candle making, weaving, Spinning, Blacksmithing or Woodworking, Butter Making and a visiting the Farm. They can tend bees for honey, use tools in the turn-of-the-century kitchen; eat a cake, that they make “from scratch,” and dowse for water or they can learn about Seminole patchwork, Seminole legends, the Eight Clans, how to weave palmettos, create a pinch pot and taste sofkee. It all depends on which tour we choose.
