History on the river Two pieces of history sailed past Chester on the Mis- sissippi River Monday night. Full-scale replicas of the Nina and the Pinta—two of Christopher Columbus’ three ships that brought the colonists to Plymouth Rock from Spain—are making their way down the Missis- sippi on their way to Kentucky. The ships last stopped in Grafton, Illinois last week. Shown is the Pinta as it floats past the Chester riverfront. A man is standing on board, toward the back of the ship, showing the relatively small size of the vessel.
