In 1400 and 92, Columbus sailed the … Ohio River?
Well, maybe not quite. But replicas of two of his ships will this week. The Columbus Foundation's Nina and Pinta are scheduled to arrive Friday and dock at Station Square for nearly two weeks.
The two ships, known as caravels, are referred to as “floating museums” by the foundation, which is dedicated to educating the public about the ships, according to its website.
