The historic Kalmar Nyckel made its return to Dravo Plaza on the Wilmington Riverfront on June 25. Kalmar Nyckel is a re-creation of the Dutch merchant ship that brought Swedish settlers to North America in the 1600s.
The ship will take passengers on river cruises and pirate-themed sails on Wilmington’s Christina River through July 10. Passengers of the river cruises are invited to work alongside the crew as well as to simply enjoy the views.
