A little dove flutters in door no. 18 - it is the Duyfken

The Duyfken (‘little dove’) was a small pinasse built in the Netherlands in 1595.

It was a fast, lightly armed ship that was probably originally intended for transporting small, valuable goods or as a pirate ship. In 1606, it reached the Australian mainland during a voyage of discovery from Bantam (Java) under the leadership of Willem Jansz. Jansz was subsequently regarded as the first European explorer of Australia.

The Fluyt

They were just merchant ship for the European area and were mainly used for bulk goods. Therefore, their armament was light and their crews small.

The Pinasse

These ships were smaller but more robust than the Fluyt. Due to their construction, they were able to carry 15-20 guns and had a crew of 20 men. Therefore, in addition to trading to Canada and the West Indies, they were also used for expeditions such as to the Arctic.
