The Kalmar Nyckel Foundation is an educational organization which built and owns the amazing Kalmar Nyckel Tall Ship, which is a fully operational Tall Ship, based on the original Kalmar Nyckel ship which brought the first Swedish settlers to North America.

The foundation operates regular day sails, river cruises and pirate adventures from May through October, as well as hosting many private cruises.
