Riverwalk Landing Piers
Kalmar Nyckel, The Tall Ship of Delaware, returns to the shores of the York River, from Wednesday, June 12 through Saturday, June 15, offering 2.5-hour day sails and deck tours on the York River.
The ship will dock at the Riverwalk Landing Piers, 425 Water Street, Yorktown, VA. Plan ahead for public sails plus free deck tours courtesy of the Yorktown Tall Ship Committee and York County on Wednesday, June 12 from 3 to 7 p.m. Captains Lauren Morgens and Sharon Dounce with their volunteer crew look forward to sharing our love of adventure and the high seas with all ages.
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.
Free deck tours are being offered Wednesday, June 12 from 3–7 p.m.
