History comes to life as the legendary Niña and Pinta make their way to Chattanooga. These authentic replicas of the Portuguese caravels from the Age of Discovery showcases an immersive look at maritime exploration. A floating museum that was hand built by 8th-generation Portuguese shipwrights using traditional tools identical to those used more than 525 years ago. Recognized by Archaeology Magazine as the most historically accurate Columbus replica ever constructed, the ship showcases remarkable craftsmanship. Towering masts, hand-rigged sails, and the scent of timber and tar make stepping aboard feel like traveling back to the 15th century.

Guests can choose between advanced guided weekday tours for schools and private groups or relaxed self-guided weekend visits open to the public. Interactive scavenger hunts add an engaging twist, encouraging visitors to uncover maritime artifacts and historical details throughout the vessels. Whether you are a history enthusiast, a student, or simply searching for unique things to do in Scenic City, this is a rare opportunity to explore.
