This is a starboard side view of the Pinta, a larger version of the archetypal caravel that Columbus used on his voyages to the new world and offers walk-aboard tours, transits Chickamauga Lock Oct. 20, 2013 after a 10-day visit to Chattanooga, Tenn. The Pinta and her sister ship, Nina, are navigating up the Tennessee River via the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nashville District’s navigation locks with visits to Lenoir City and Knoxville before heading downstream for stops in Alabama and Mississippi.
