Welcome to Port Aransas
Viewers rush for a sight of the Columbus replica ship Nina as the vessel rounds a marker headed for the Port Aransas Harbor on Monday, March 12. This "Nina" isn't one of the three ships docked in Corpus Christi, but part of a similar trio of replicas based in South Padre Island. The ship stayed here overnight before leaving for the second leg of a trip from South Padre Island to Matagorda Bay.
