This tall ship recently visited Mystic Seaport for some repairs. The Kalmar Nyckel is the official tall ship of the state of Delaware and is full scale replica of Peter Minuet's flagship bringing colonists to establish the colony of New Sweden, near present day Wilmington, DE. Between the years of 1637 and 1644 she made a total of four round-trip crossings, more than any other documented ship of the American colonial era. Today she serves as a floating classroom and offers sailing opportunities to the general public. She is owned by the Kalmar Nyckel Foundation. You can read more about her, here.
