Kalmar Nyckel, the Tall Ship of Delaware, Deck Tours and Day Sails
June 14 @ 10:00 am – 5:30 pm
Kalmar Nyckel, The Tall Ship of Delaware, returns to the shores of the York River.
Day sails on the Kalmar Nyckel offer a unique, hands-on experience where you are invited to haul lines and set sails to the rhythm of a chantey song. You may also choose to talk with the crew to learn about Kalmar Nyckel’s history and simply relax and enjoy time on the water. Only three days of 2.5-hour sails are planned on Thursday, June 13, through Saturday, June 15.
Climb aboard this magnificent square-rigged full scale replica of the Swedish war ship that brought settlers to North America in 1638 and explore life as a 17th-century sailor.
