		THE Duyfken replica is about to set sail again — and the 24m square rigger is to play a key role in assisting youth at risk, aged 16 to 24, through a special team-building program that will ultimately help them find employment.
		Based in Fremantle, the 24m Duyfken replica (its name translates as “little dove”) has a crew of 18 and six of these places will be made permanently available for youth at risk.
		The Duyfken is a replica of the Dutch East India Company ship of the same name, recorded as the first European ship to reach Australia in 1606, and was saved from being sold to another state or country at the 11th hour last year.

		The Duyfken was built in the same way as the original, planked from the keel up to the turn of the bilges before any framing was added.
		The Duyfken’s arrival in Galle was a slight deviation from the normal spice route, but coincided with 400th anniversary of Dutch Sri Lanka relations.
		The Duyfken sailed tens of thousands of kilometres to reach her final destination thus completing the story of one of the greatest challenges ever contemplated in such an ancient replica ship during our time.

		Duyfken was a fast armed ship, a jacht, probably built for smuggling or for privateering in the Netherlands struggle for independence from Spain.
		While she was on the voyage back to the Netherlands Duyfken was bought by the newly formed United East India Company (VOC) and at the end of 1603 she was sent back to the Indies to operate there carrying urgent messages and supplies between VOC outposts and to make further voyages of exploration.
		Duyfken is being reconstructed as a ship of 20m length between stem and sternpost, about 24m between beakhead and taffrail.

	Voyage of rediscovery - smh.com.au
		Attempting to weather a heavy storm, the 16-man crew of the Duyfken - the tiny Australian-built replica of a 17th-century Dutch sailing ship - had hauled down all sails and was drifting in gale-force winds when they realised a large Russian tanker was bearing down on them.
		The new Duyfken was built by enthusiasts to celebrate the shared heritage with the Dutch, and this remarkable voyage is the culmination of a long-standing dream.
		For the Duyfken's master, Glenn Williams, from Palm Beach, the biggest disappointment of the voyage was that he had to use the ship's engine to motor 60 nautical miles out of Horta harbour in the Azores.

	Duyfken and Willem Janszoon
		Janszoon, a natural leader and skilled navigator, was chosen for the hazardous voyage to the unknown.
		It was also thought that the small Duyfken, with its shallow beam, would be ideal for exploring the coastlines in uncharted shallow waters.
		Provisioning the Duyfken with food and water for a journey of indeterminate time and unknown distance required that every available space on the small ship was utilised.

		In terms of the choice of media artefact formats, although the Duyfken project is to a large degree archival, there has had to be a trade-off between the needs of archiving material (long term, guaranteed readability, multiple store, etc) and the needs of the site, which is to be maximally viewable, with an optimum download.
		Certainly the Duyfken voyage is of interest to places where it calls on its way, and there is a responsibility of the site to permit easy viewing for those on the other side of the digital divide.

		When the Netherlands declared its independence from Spain in 1581, Philip II retaliated by closing to Dutch merchants the port of Lisbon with its rich trade in oriental spices.
		Once in the Indies, Jansz was sent to search out other outlets for trade, particularly in "the great land of Nova Guinea and other East- and Southlands." On November 18, 1605, Duyfken sailed from Bantam to Banda and then through the Kai Islands and on to Tanjung Deyong, New Guinea.
		Duyfken rounded False Cape and then crossed the Arafura Sea into the Gulf of Carpentaria (thereby missing Torres Strait) and charted 200 miles of the Australian coast, which Jansz considered part of New Guinea.

		Speaking at the launching of his book, Sent Forth A Dove, on the voyage of the Dutch ship Duyfken and the landing in 1606 on Cape York Peninsula, James Henderson said it was clear that the Aboriginal people of the time had held out the hand of coexistence.
		A week before, to the sound of didgeridoo and the cheering of thousands, the replica of the Duyfken or Little Dove, the tiny 400-year old Dutch ship was launched by the wife of the WA Premier.
		When the replica's keel was laid by Prince Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands in January 1997, it signalled the start of a two-year construction project to make real a dream that would take thousands of hours of skilled work and the use of 70 tons of timber.

		In the absence of any plans for a Dutch ship of Duyfken's time there have been a number of theoretical (on paper) reconstructions designed by using the relatively narrow and box-like hull-form of the late 17th-century, whence plans are available, and combining this with the high-stern and large billowing sails of the 16th-century galleon.
		There are three tiny sketches of Duyfken done by a seaman in the journal of the ship Gelderlandt, the clearest of these SEEMS to show Duyfken with guns on deck in the waist suggesting a single deck through the waist.
