We were delighted to host the Kalmar Nyckel during an overnight visit to the St. Mary’s River. The Kalmar Nyckel is an impressive replica of the 17th-century vessel known as the Swedish Mayflower of the Delaware Valley.

It was a pleasure to welcome the crew and share our waterfront, where history continues to come alive under sail. The ship departed yesterday morning and was once again underway.

Fair winds and following seas to the Kalmar Nyckel—we hope to see you again soon!

Thank you Dingus Has A Camera for capturing these moments!
