Come see the models of the Columbia Redivia and the Lady Washington. Be amazed at the eight foot tall reproduction of the Columbia Rediviva’s figurehead and the model showing how this ship was provisioned for the long sea voyage, and the apparel of what the 18th century seafarers would have worn, and the musical instruments they would have played.
