Mystic — The tall ship of the state of Delaware arrived Friday at Mystic Seaport Museum.
The Kalmar Nyckel is a full-scale replica of a Swedish merchant ship that established the colony of New Sweden in the Delaware Valley in 1638. It will be undergoing maintenance and Coast Guard inspections over the next three weeks at the Seaport's Henry B. duPont Preservation Shipyard.
