Annual Columbus Days
September 30 to October 11, 2008 |
| Experience the POWER of SIMPLE MACHINES* aboard the Columbus Ships! |
Columbus and his crew knew the compounding power of simple machines. The lever, pulley, wheel and axle, and inclined plane were used aboard on a daily basis to help the crew accomplish daily tasks. You will join our "crew" and use these same simple machines to accomplish similar tasks! Guest crew members will receive a days pay for a days work (a reale-the coin of the Spanish realm).
Reservations required. Sign your crew up by clicking on the link above.
