Great looking 'old' 3-mast something @ Solomons Island

White back ground/blue cross = Finland.

Blue background/yellow cross = Sweden

1. Wonder how big a crew is needed for this ship?

2. Good question.

No real access (that I saw,) so didn't ask. MAYBE I'll return, to find out wassup.

5. Its gotta take a bunch of people to handle all those sails

Assuming that’s whT they use and not some internal diesel or something. It’s cool that there are still ships like that around preserving the sail expertise. Maybe after mankind largely destroys itself ships like that will be the way to get around. Just think of all the manpower needed to build a big sailing ship.

3. It's the Kalmar Nyckel, tall ship of Delaware

Here’s their website: https://www.kalmarnyckel.org

Looks like a day sail out of Solomons Island is $40-$65. It sails from the wharf at Battery Park in Nrw Castle, DE sometimes, as well.
