Kalmar
Nyckel
Kalmar Nyckel, a three-masted armed pinnace
(warship), brought the first permanent European settlers from Sweden to
the Delaware Valley in 1638. Carrying 24 men from four countries
(Sweden, Finland, Holland, and Germany), it landed on the banks of the
Christina River, near what is now East Seventh Street in Wilmington. The
site became known as "The Rocks." This landmark can still be
seen today at Fort Christina Park.
