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.

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.
