Summer has arrived and Grand Rivers is starting it off the right way. The Columbus Replica of The Pinta Ship will be docked for tours.
The Pinta in Spanish means The Look, The Painted one or in my own words the pretty one. It is said that this ship was by far the fast of the three ships that Columbus traveled on when he traveled to the New World.
The Pinta Replica travels around as a sailing museum according to Patti s 1880 Settlement Facebook. It is brought to different towns to allow the public and school-aged children to be educated on a part of history.
