Serves as a 'sailing museum' with dockside tours available this weekend
(RISING SUN, Ind.) -- A replica of Christopher Columbus’ famous ship is docked in Rising Sun through Sunday.
The 'Pinta' was the first ship to find land in the "new world" in 1492.
This replica ship was built in 2005 in Brazil. It serves as a "floating museum" to educate the public on the 'caravel', a Portuguese ship used by Columbus and many early explorers.
Tours of the ship are available between 9- 5 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.
