A Columbus Day Weekend visit to the Santa Maria. Top pic: kids pumping water (I think, I don't really remember what the pump was all about) Next: Georgia fixing a sailors' supper of bean soup and hard tack, Yikes! of course we spent the whole tour wondering WHERE DID THEY GO TO THE BATHROOM? Well, they hung from a rope on the OUTSIDE! of the ship and squatted over the open ocean and then wiped with this frayed rope end - known as "the bitter end" then tossed the rope back in the water to drag along until the next guy had to go!
