Unadressed/unanswered questions

How did the ship get from San Pedro to Anaheim? Anaheim is miles away from the ocean.
Is the ship actually a flat-bottom boat with a superstructure designed to look like a sailing ship? A real sailing ship of its size would require a rather deep keel and would have a much deeper draft than the Mark Twain, which runs along the same guideway in the attraction.

"When it was constructed in 1958, it was the first three-masted windjammer to have been built in the United States in more than 100 years"

Columbia is not really a windjammer.
very unlikely that no three-masted sailing ships ("windjammers") were built in the US between 1858 and, say, 1900.

How does a 33 year old and 43 year old couple have a child and grandchild, under incidents, the linked article doesn't mention any kids, but the ages are correct from the article but a grandchild at 33?Moonraker0022 (talk) 21:00, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
