A SPANISH SHIP ON THE MISSISSIP: THE PINTA DOCKED AT CAPE GIRARDEAU - An authentic reconstruction of Christopher Columbus’ famous “Pinta” (alongside an un-pictured “Nina”) stands docked for a visit to the Mississippi River town of Cape Girardeau, Missouri. History recounts that Spanish vessels, such as these, did indeed travel up this mighty river in search of gold and magical fountains and land to claim for Spain. The boys enjoyed exploring these ships during their visit to our town - they got to play pirates!
