  • Details

    Discover the remarkable story behind the Kalmar Nyckel, the Tall Ship of Delaware. Come aboard for a unique, hands-on experience at the intersection of adventure and education on a full-scale replica of the Swedish flagship from the 1638 expedition that founded the first permanent European settlement in the Delaware Valley. Haul lines, set sails, hear tales from the crew, or simply enjoy the sail. Kalmar Nyckel is available for day sails, pirate sails, dockside tours, private parties/charters during the sailing season. Educational programs are offered year-round for the public and thousands of school children at the Copeland Maritime Center at the Kalmar Nyckel shipyard campus. Opportunities to join the Kalmar Nyckel Foundation and volunteer on land and water abound!
