Corpus Christ Science and History Museum 2013

The Corpus Christi Science and History Museum has a lot of different exhibits.  The exhibits include the reproductions of the pinta, and the Santa Maria which sailed to many American ports on the anniversary of Columbus’s trip to the Americas.  We were able to go aboard one ship.  Interesting that the crew all stayed on the deck as the cargo took up the bottom hold.  Other exhibits in the museum come from some of the ships that wrecked in the Gulf.  Small museum, but had a great time with my friend Jan seeing what the museum had to offer.
