Our video library helps share the Kalmar Nyckel’s history, mechanics, and much more. See the difference between the original ship and today’s Tall Ship of Delaware.
Find information about the history of the original Kalmar Nyckel as well as the present-day tall ship's construction, launch, and educational mission.
Part history and part story, this digital booklet provides a fresh perspective on the colony of New Sweden and Delaware’s early history.
After decades of speculation, we now know the original Kalmar Nyckel was sunk during a battle off the coast of Scotland in 1652.
