Description
Tiny Cannon by D Hackett
This tiny cannon was seen on the Nina when it was at the Vero Marina. In Columbus's time, there were no pirates so this tiny cannon was to communicate with the other ships in the fleet. During the night or storms, the would use this cannon to locate the other ships they were sailing with.
This Nina the Most Historically Accurate Columbus Replica Ship Ever Built. The Niña 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 Niña has a different mission. We are a floating museum, and we visit ports all over the Western Hemisphere.
