Ok so that was pretty much all he accomplished but that doesn't make this little ship any less cool. This is the Nina, and she is a caravel. A caravel is a small compact ship that was used to explore coastlines and rivers. There were no quarters below so the men slept on deck. Apparently traveling the 29th parrallel is fairly pleasant and they had little weather to contend with. Hmm. I wonder if they had sunblock. Made entirely by hand without the use of power tools this is said to be a close replica of the Nina. The dingy was made by a 14 year old apprentice while his family built the mother ship. The kids (Andy, Jack, Leah and Will) had a good time climbing around on this boat, helping raise the sails and pretending to stear the dingy.
