WILMINGTON, Del. (CBS) -- It was a perfect day for the first sail of the Kalmar Nyckel in Delaware. Eyewitness News was in Wilmington on Tuesday where the tall ship took sail.
The ship is a replica of the Swedish ship that crossed the ocean to settle the first European settlement in the Delaware Valley in 1638.
The ship is half-capacity due to COVID-19.
It will sail three days on the weekends in May and most of June, officials say. Weekday sails will begin on May 7 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.
