KITTERY, Maine — It must have felt like stepping back in time Monday afternoon for anyone standing on the banks of the Piscataqua River, as two replicas of 15th-century ships came into view.
The Niña and Pinta, modeled after ships of the same name sailed by Christopher Columbus when he came to the New World in 1492, sailed into Badger’s Island Marina East on Monday for a weeklong stay.
Tour the Niña and Pinta replicas
When: 9 a.m.-6 p.m., Tuesday, June 14 to Monday, June 20
Where: Badger’s Island Marina East.
From Interstate 95, take the Kittery traffic circle exit, and take State Road or Route 1 south toward Memorial Bridge and Portsmouth. No parking is available at the marina site.
Admission: $8 for adults, $7 for seniors, $6 for children ages 5-16; free for children age 4 and under.
Parking:
Weekdays and Sunday, June 19:
First lot: Badger’s Island Marina West: With Memorial Bridge straight ahead, take a right next to Hebert Brothers; the ships will be on the left). Head to the parking lot at the end of the street where there is limited parking.
Second lot: If the first lot is filled, retrace your steps back down Route 1 north to the intersection of Route 1 and Walker Street, where there is an empty lot. Flaggers will direct you. Walk to the marina.
On Saturday June 18: First lot remains the same, although there is very limited parking there.
Second lot: The lot at the corner of Route 1 and Walker is being used that day for the Kittery Block Party and you will not be able to park there. Motorists are asked to please use the Island Marine Service lot on Route 236 heading toward South Berwick, just past the I-95 interchange on the right. A shuttle bus will bring visitors to the ships.
Capt. Kyle Friaut said the trip up from Connecticut, where they were last docked, was uneventful, with the crew stopping over in Gloucester, Mass., for a few days over the weekend.
