Pinta on the Tennessee River

This is a replica of one of the ships Columbus used when he discovered America. It is currently touring the Tennessee River with a stop at Green Turtle Bay Marina in Grand Rivers, KY from May 21-31. (I see that Grand Rivers, KY, is on both the Tennessee and Cumberland Rivers and that a canal connects the two rivers.)

Two of the photos posted by Pickwick Lock with the comment: "The Pinta locking at Pickwick Lock." [It was downbound. I'm always amazed how small these ships were for sailing on the open ocean.]

I wonder if they used sales across the Kentucky Lake.

Caught the 'Pinta' this afternoon @ Mousetail Landing on TN River
Barry J. Hitchcock: Met them last week below Coffeeville Lock on Tombigbee.
Zebulah Goings: Making pretty good wake for the sails to be down.
