About
The Kalmar Nyckel is a volunteer-based organization that built, owns, and operates Kalmar Nyckel, the tall ship of Delaware. The ship is a full-scale replica of the original Swedish merchant ship carrying soldiers and colonists who founded New Sweden in 1638, established Fort Christina at 'the Rocks, and began the first permanent European settlement in the Delaware Valley (present day Wilmington, DE). Kalmar Nyckel is a treasured state icon and has become one of the region's great educational resources, a floating classroom and inspirational platform for an array of sea- and land-based programs that typically reaches more than 30,000 people of all ages each year. The Kalmar Nyckel Foundation also serves as a catalyst for social and economic development and outreach in and beyond the state of Delaware.
