Duyfken 2016 Dirk Hartog Commemorative Exhibition

Duyfken 2016 Dirk Hartog Commemorative Exhibition

05/09/2016 - 27/09/2016

In 2016 we celebrate the Dirk Hartog 400th Anniversary (1616-2016), with the Duyfken replica undertaking a voyage and exhibition program that will take her to Bunbury, Mandurah, Hillarys, Jurien Bay, Dongara, Geraldton, and Denham, culminating with the official ceremony at Cape Inscription on Dirk Hartog Island, on October 25, 2016.When you step aboard the Duyfken replica sailing ship, it will be like stepping back in time to the early 1600s. To navigate your way through the ship, you will have access to a fully integrated audio tour that will take you step by step on a journey of discovery. As you traverse through the ship you’ll discover the challenges faced by the crews of these sailing ships as they ventured from The Netherlands to the Spice Islands.
