Monday, October 8th, is Columbus Day. The replica of one of Columbus' ships, the Nina, visits ports around the country and allows schoolchildren and curious adults to experience what life for Columbus must have been like. The Nina was last in Alabama in 1999. In 2003, the Nina replica pulled into port in Guntersville. While here, two Alabama men joined the crew--Adam Mashburn from Huntsville and Wade Eck from Florence. I was amazed at how small this ship is! It's hard to believe that men crossed the ocean and lived in this tiny, little ship.
