NEWBURGH – Imagine sailing uncharted seas more 500 years ago, making a voyage fraught with danger – both known and unknown.

Visitors can get a small taste of what it might have been like when two replica ships, the Nina and the Pinta, pull into Newburgh’s waterfront this weekend. Tours of the ships, as historically correct as if Columbus was still leading them to the New World, will be offered July 18-20 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Stephen Sanger, who has captained the Nina for six years, said the ships, built by the Columbus Foundation, are really floating museums. The Nina, he noted, was built entirely without power tools. Before a board was planed or a nail driven, three years of research went into making the ship as historically accurate as possible, Sanger said.
