New Guidebook Launched for 2009
The Kalmar Nyckel – A Guide to the Ship and Her History
Click here or on the cover picture to link to the new Guidebook now.
Read the fascinating story of the original ship and its role
in bringing Peter Minuit and the first permenant settlers to the Delaware
Valley. Discover why they came and the roles of the original voyagers.
Also learn about the current ship, her re-construction and
specification. Take a "self-guided tour" above and below deck. Understand the
combination of modern and traditional design that allows you to safely sail
aboard today and experience the "age of sail" - a living part of Delaware's
maritime heritage.
Note: If you have a slow connection then there is a smaller, but lower quality, version
available here. However, we do recommend that you download
the full quality version if you want to print it out (see the sidebar for saving it to your computer).
