Book excerpt: Launched in Wilmington in 1997, Kalmar Nyckel--The Tall Ship of Delaware--is one of the region's great educational resources, a floating classroom and inspirational platform for a broad array of land-and sea-based programs. An accurate replica of the original Swedish naval vessel that launched the colony of New Sweden in the Delaware Valley in 1638, today's Kalmar Nyckel voyages over 2,000 nautical miles and reaches more than 30,000 students, passengers, and visitors a year. A photographer's dream wherever she goes, Kalmar Nyckel embodies America's maritime heritage and has become one of Delaware's defining treasures. Samuel W. Heed, Esq., is the senior historian and director of education at the Kalmar Nyckel Foundation, where since 2008 he has been developing the programs, exhibits, articles, and documentaries that bring the Kalmar Nyckel story to life and give it meaning. Heed serves on a number of nonprofit boards, including the Council of American Maritime Museums. The Kalmar Nyckel Foundation archives provided the primary resources for this book.

Book excerpt: Many vessels braved the Atlantic bringing explorers, traders, & settlers to the New World - Columbus's NINA, PINTA, & SANTA MARIA - Henry Hudson's HALF MOON - Lord Baltimore's ARK & DOVE - William Penn's WELCOME - & numerous others. None played a more significant role in the history of the Middle Atlantic States than the KALMAR NYCKEL, although the name may be unfamiliar to many Americans. Meaning "the key of Kalmar" (Kalmar was a Swedish city in the Baltic), the KALMAR NYCKEL, commanded by Peter Minuit, made the first permanent European settlement in the Delaware River valley at present Wilmington in 1638. Dr. Weslager reveals that the KALMAR NYCKEL continued to bring colonists on three subsequent voyages, blazing a route to the Delaware estuary on the trade winds. New Sweden became a home not only for Swedes & Finns, but for immigrants from Germany, the Netherlands, the British Isles, Belgium, Poland - even Danes & Schleswig-Holsteiners. The author maintains that the KALMAR NYCKEL has not received its just due. He argues that the ship did more than transporting a handful of Scandinavians. It brought more people, & of differing cultural backgrounds, than the venerable MAYFLOWER, & it planted the seeds for three of the original thirteen colonies - Delaware, Pennsylvania, & New Jersey. Finally, the KALMAR NYCKEL heroically ended its career as a spy ship in the Swedish-Danish War. "Dr. Weslager is universally recognized as America's foremost historian on New Sweden...he cites information found in contemporary letters, journals, notorial records, & other primary sources many of which have been translated into English for the first time."--Peter S. Craig, SWEDISH COLONIAL NEWS.
