Replicas of two historic vessels will dock at Three Forks Harbor in Muskogee this week. The public can board the "Nina" and the "Pinta" starting Wednesday, November 23.
The Columbus ships will be available for tours until they leave for Baton Rouge the morning of December 8, according to a release from the Columbus Foundation.
The "Nina" – a replica of the ship that brought sailors to the new world three times and covered over 25,000 miles – was built by hand without the use of power tools. The "Pinta" was recently built in Brazil and is a larger version of the historic vessel.
While in port, people can board the ships for a self-guided tour from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Prices are $8 for adults, $7 for seniors and $6 for students ages 5 to 16. Children 4 and under are free. No reservations are needed.
Groups can also schedule a 30-minute tour with a crew member by calling 1-787-672-2152.
