I am sure that many of you have heard of this ship. If not, it is called the Kalymar Nickel. ( I hope that it is spelled proper ) They have a web site that you can get some info. as well as view various pics of her. There is also a listing of where she will be heading and how you can pay for her services for certain functions. Hope you enjoy it. The Capt.

I did some searching and came up with this spelling: Kalymar Knyckle. The link to it's website didn't seem to work, but for anyone who wishes to at least see a picture of the ship, go to:

http://rumskulls.org/hornblo.html

The link that this page gave for the Kalymar is http://www.kalnyc.org/Kalmar.htm

You can see a photo of the Kalmar Nykel, but I'm not sure if it's the ship in the foreground or the background.

Just out of curiosity....

Why do Calmar Nyckel fly the finnish flag?

Not that it has not happened before that the white and blue has showed up in "piratical" places. Remember Port Royal in "Cutthroat Island"? ;)

I thought the Kalmar Nyckel was supposed to be Swedish. The colony of Delaware originally had a lot of Swedes if I remember correctly. But I don't know the flags that well though.

Safe harbours and full tankards,

Yea, Calmar Nyckel was swedish. So was Nya Sverige in todays Delawere. At this time Finland didn´t even exist other than as a part of Sweden. And the finnish flag (the white and blue) wasn´t composed until the early 1900´s when the struggle for freedom from Russia began.

But Calmar Nyckel has both the swedish and the finnish flag, so thats why I´m wondering... :)
