On Friday we went up to Oswego Port to see the Nina and the Pinta. They are exact replicas of the ships hand made in Brazil by Portugese shipwrights. I was surprised to see how small they were and how open the rear forecastles were to the weather. The captain had a private room with 4 foot of headroom, but that is the only private space on the ship. The men slept anywhere they could. The animals and supplies rode below deck in the cargo hold.
Of course we took pictures. Here's our gallery of photos.
