Talk:Kalmar Nyckel

Untitled

Regarding the fate of the vessel: according to the Swedish version of Wikipedia, in the section for the history of Kalmar (the city from which the name of the vessel was taken), the boat was sunk in a war against the Danes in the 1670's, just outside the city. Part of the boat was slavaged. http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalmars_historia (in Swedish)

In The Island at the Center of the World, Shorto suggests, but doesn't state, that the Kalmar Nyckel goes down in a Caribbean hurricane with Peter Minuit, after he departed Fort Christina for a load of tobacco. Actually, only that Minuit dies is stated, the fate of his transport is not recounted, and it is inferred, in rereading the passage, that Minuit is aboard the Kalmar Nyckel at the time of his death.

• According to the guidebook, Peter Minuit joined Captain Jan Hindricksen van der Water of the Dutch ship Flying Deer for dinner on 5 August 1638, and both disappeared with the Flying Deer in the hurricane that hit St Christopher's Island (St Kitts) that night -- the Kalmar Nyckel rode it out hardly bruised.

• Further according to the same guidebook above, the Queen Christina authorized the sale of the ship on 19 June 1651, and it was sold to Cornelius Rolofsson, believed to be a Dutch merchant. Lewes cit9876 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 01:49, 28 August 2011 (UTC).

the ship that sunk outside of kalmar appears to have been sv:Regalskeppet Nyckeln (1664) (also according to swedish wp; the two were perhaps confused at some point) k kisses 16:08, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

Cats

I'm indiscriminately adding cats that apply to eiher the original ship or the replica but not both.RevelationDirect (talk) 00:21, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

Barring some reason otherwise, I'll be discriminatingly removing them; how are these cats notable? Anmccaff (talk) 05:30, 30 October 2015 (UTC)

Flags

The guidebook shows a lovely shot of the Kalmar Nyckel with three flags flying. Delaware is in front, and then up top the forward one is a light blue cross on white, and the Swedish national flag in rear. Does anyone know what the light blue cross on white is?
