As part of the agreement, the ship would be displayed in the Port of Galveston for at least three weeks and then at a sailing race in Kemah.

This is such a great story about the Christopher Columbus Fleet of the Niña, Pinta and Santa Maria. Dr. Savage would love it. The really good replicas of the Niña, Pinta and Santa Maria have found Angels. I saw them in the glory days and looks like we all are pitching in to put them back into “Bristol Condition”!
Niña, Pinta and Santa Maria will cost $300,000 a year to maintain! Easy now that company X is in the mix!

Is this something the government should be spending taxpayer money on?
To: BellStar
Down here in South Texas the ships are called the “Columbus shipwrecks.” The city of Corpus Christi has totally mismanaged these ships to the point of ruin. As far as making them an attraction, they hid them under a bridge and enclosed them with a high screen so that visitors and tourists could not get a FREE look at them.
They should have been visible to the public as they entered the waterfront area so that they could be the centerpiece of the downtown shoreline. Did they do that? Nooooooooo.
Just another example of how political management of Corpus Christi embarrasses us all.

Maintaining La Niña is a good idea. El Niño causes so many more troubles than La Niña.

I visited the ships in 93 at Corpus. They were buildt from wood from the same forest that Columbus’s shipwright used, using the original plans.
The ships have been plagued by problems, mostly financial, since their arrival in America
