Yeah, I knew both ships circumnavigated the globe. I just had it my head that the story that it was modeled after the earlier of the two was a misconception.

Apparently I wrong. In poking around more I've found an interview with Ray Wallace, the architect behind the Sailing Ship Columbia and he is quite explicit that the Columbia Rediviva (the earlier Robert Gray ship) was the model.
