Santa Maria de Columbus in Madeira. A life size replica of Christopher Columbus' ship now used for tourist trips. Read about it here.
I am joining Sandee at Comedy Plus for the blog hop.
We love to cruise and this will show our travels. Of course there will also be other photos of non cruise holidays and anything else that takes my fancy. All photos can be clicked to enlarge.
Nice photos and interesting too :-)

ReplyDeleteAnd I enjoy these images, the water, the boats, the sun!
Lovely moment! Thank you, Jackie!
Happy WW and a fabulous week!
Can you even imagine sailing across the Atlantic in that little ship?
ReplyDeleteLife size replica? I would enjoy seeing this and taking a ride. It made for pretty pictures, too. Those mariners were brave people.
ReplyDeleteI would love to take a cruise in that! Beautiful! Happy Wednesday! :) <3
ReplyDeleteIt looks so small doesn't it. I would love to take a cruise on that. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining the Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Wordless Wednesday, Jackie. ♥
That's a beautiful ship!
ReplyDeleteSonice. It would be a wonderful experience to have a tour on that ship
ReplyDeleteI miss living on Vancouver Island, we used to see the replica sail ships around Victoria quite often. I have never seen the Santa Maria though! And what a wonderful harbor to see it in.
ReplyDeletehow awesome is this !!! I would take this cruise in a fast minute !!! { no crows nest tho ;) ☺☺♥♥
ReplyDeleteNow if I remember correctly this boat was docked in Chicago downtown area at Navy Pier, and people did take rides on it. I saw it from my brother's boat. Truly it was definitely awesome. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHe came HERE in THAT? Brave soul (but we thank him ...) In southern Virginia: Jamestown, Williamsburg, Richmond area, one can see many similar replicas and board them, hard to believe, seeing the conditions inside that they traveled far and wide.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos. XO
ReplyDeleteYour photos are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteIt still amazes me how small those ships really were.
A tour on that ship would be quite an experience!
ReplyDeleteFascinating photos, Jackie!
WOW......that's a beautiful replica...it would be fun to have a ride on that one!

Is it real, Jackie? It looks so small😸The pictures are outstanding btw! Pawkisses for a Happy Weekend🐾😽💞
ReplyDeleteWhen I was a teenager, my parents took the family to visit my mother's sister's family just outside of Williamsburg, Virginia. I remember we got to see Columbus' replica ships. I think all three where port side and we were able to tour one of them but that was too long ago for to remember which one. It was a fun experience. The boats were small, much smaller than I had envision ships that sailed the ocean blue to the new word would be but then that probably was big in those days. Thanks for stopping by for a visit. Have a joyful holiday season!
ReplyDeletewow, that´s a great ship!
