Duyfken : the story of a brave ship and building a replica
DESCRIPTION
AuthorCampbell, Bob, 1946-Corporate AuthorDuyfken 1606 Replica FoundationDescriptionDuyfken is as important to Australian history as Santa Maria is to Americans. Her skipper, Willem Janszoon, was Australia's Christopher Columbus. Duyfken was the first European vessel to make a recorded landfall on the Australian continent (in early 1606) and her crew were the first Europeans to have set foot on it. The voyage produced the first chart of the Australian coastline. Her voyage marked the first time recorded in history that Aboriginal Australians first met people from outside world. This is a story of a remarkable ship, her life and times; how 400 years later a replica of the original was concieved and constructed in Fremantle; and how she set sail to discover the past.ImprintFremantle, Western Australia : Duyfken 1606 Replica Foundation , 1998.Collation19 p. : ill., maps, plans ; 25 cm.LanguageEnglishDate Published2001ISBN0642705151Dewey Class623.8203 CAMPublication FormatBook
