Welcome to the site of The Columbus Foundation and our two Columbus replica ships. Information and links to each ship's website are at the bottom of this page, or you may click on the pictures: The first picture is our original Niña, the most historically accurate replica of a Columbus Ship ever built. The second picture is our recently-built Santa Clara, or Niña II, in Grand Cayman.

The Niņa is a replica of the ship on which Columbus sailed across the Atlantic on his three voyages of discovery to the new world beginning in 1492. Columbus sailed the tiny ship over 25,000 miles. That ship was last heard of in 1501, but the new Niņa has a different mission. We are a floating museum, and we visit ports all over the United States. This newly built 115-foot replica of a 15th Century Columbus Sailing Ship is now in Grand Cayman. The ship is docked at Safehaven in the Ritz Carlton Canal. The Santa Clara, or Niña II as she is called, is available for day sailing trips, sunset cruises and private charters in the calm waters of the North Sound. |
