KALMAR NYCKEL: The Forgotten Journey
Filmed
on location and on Kalmar Nyckel, a
full-scale replica of the original Swedish colonial ship, KALMAR NYCKEL: The Forgotten Journey depicts the epic
adventure that launched the colony of New Sweden in the Delaware Valley in 1638. This extraordinary transatlantic voyage and exploration represents a significant
part of our colonial history. The film features
stunning sailing sequences from Kalmar
Nyckel, The Tall Ship of Delaware, and commentary from some of the world’s
leading experts on North American and Swedish maritime and colonial history. In 1638, the Swedish Crown chose to compete with
the North American rival Dutch and English powers by sending Kalmar Nyckel across the harsh Atlantic
in pursuit of trade relationships and unclaimed territory.
KALMAR NYCKEL: The Forgotten Journey initially premiered in December 2017 on WHYY-TV (PBS) Philadelphia and re-aired in recent years to great reviews. The film premiered in Sweden in January 2019 and has been seen by more than 800,000 viewers. The DVD was released in the spring of 2019; now available online and at the Kalmar Nyckel Foundation (KNF).
