The Kalmar Nyckel

The Delaware tall ship,  Kalmar Nyckel, was returning to the dock at Historic New Castle and we were lucky enough to be there.  It was under power, not sail, when we saw it but it goes to Portsmouth, New Hampshire, New London, Connecticut, Long Island, and Solomons Island, Maryland. 

We watched as the crew backed it up to the dock.  The captain was a lady as were several other crew members.  Nice. 

We were just out walking along the shoreline before the Kalmar Nyckel showed up. Love this cairne built from the rocks dropped to protect the shoreline. 

And then we looked up and saw this (below).  Woo hoo.  So we went to the dock for a closer look. 

And we walked around the restaurants and shops, peering down neat allyways.

Another good day.
