Most of us who have had a history class know that Christopher Columbus had three ships on his first voyage from Spain in 1492, the Niña, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria.

Starting Thursday you will have a chance to tour replicas of two of those famous ships.

The Niña and the Pinta will dock at B & B Riverboats at 1 p.m. Thursday. 

The two caravels will be available for tours from Friday, Sept. 25 to Monday, Oct. 5.

Prices range from $7 for adults, $6 for senior citizens, $5 for students and children under 4-years-old are free.

Organizers say the Niña was built by hand without power tools, and is considered to be the most historically correct Columbus replica ever built.
