"The Nina will soon be receiving her blessing and officially her restoration will be complete. The local TV station, KRIS TV, has run a story about the Nina's completion and the plans to restore the Pinta and the Santa Maria.
"CORPUS CHRISTI -- One of the three Columbus replica ships -- on
display in Corpus Christi -- is restored and ready for public tours.
But, it was no easy task getting to that point.
The history behind the ships plays out like a movie.
There's drama, disaster and it all revolves around money.
Rick Stryker, with the Corpus Christi Museum of Science and History, said, "It was a bad decision because it didn't work."
Sailing officials tell us a private, non-profit organization initially paid Spain $1 million dollars for the ships in 1994.
The same organization was also supposed to pay for the area at the
History and Science Museum used to repair and display the ships.
That costs around $4 million."
