The Columbus ships are all aground.
The local replicas of the three "caravels" Christoper Columbus used for his journey to the Americas are all sitting high and dry looking sad, tired, and beaten.
Dry rot has weakened the decks of the ships to the point that they are unsafe for tourist and the masts have removed in fear that they may collapse.
The local museum is hoping to raise millions for repairs and maintenance.
A sad ending for a gift from the government of Mexico to our fair city.
