Random Picture

I have thousands of pictures, so I thought today I would select a random picture and post it, then write the story.  This is a replica of one of the ships that Columbus sailed to the Americas.  These ships were doing a tour up the east coast and we went out and saw them when they stopped in Florida.  I forget which of the ships this one is.  Something that we learned upon going to see the ship:  You see in all the movies people "swabbing the deck".  I always thought that it was becaue of the sea water and wind and stuff the deck got wet so people always had to mop it up so people didn't slip.  The truth is, the deck is designed to stay wet.  The deck is swabbed not to get the water off, but to evenly distribute the water over the whole deck so the boards stay wet. 
They are still touring, if you are interested: http://www.thenina.com/schedule.htm
