Historic replica ship arrives in Douglas

A replica of one of the world's most historic ships has arrived in Douglas and is open to the public.

The Nao Santa María was built to look exactly like Christopher Columbus's flagship, which played a key role in the discovery of the Americas.

She's berthed at Douglas Marina until Sunday, September 13 - with her visit having been extended - and open to visitors between 10am and 8pm each day.

Douglas Council says the floating exhibit gives you a chance to experience life as a 15th-century sailor.
