The Sailing Ship Columbia is a full-scale replica of Columbia Rediviva, the first American ship to circumnavigate the globe. Located at the Disneyland park in Anaheim, California, US, the Columbia has operated in the park for more than fifty years. Passengers of the ship take a 12-minute trip around the Rivers of America. At night, the Columbia plays the role of Captain Hook's ship in riverfront performances of the park's nighttime show, Fantasmic!
