"Duyfken" in Eden 11 - 20 November 2006
 
Locals and visitors alike had a once in a lifetime opportunity to experience a working 16th century vessel when the replica of the Dutch ship Duyfken sailed into Eden on its 12,000km voyage to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the first documented European contact with Australia.
The journey marked the first mapping of the Australian coast by Duyfken Captain Willem Janszoon, who chartered 320km of coastline off Cape York Peninsula.

The replica of James Cook's HM Bark Endeavour anchored in Eden between 4 and 10 April 2006. The Endeavour was en route from Melbourne to its home at the Maritime Museum in Sydney after a voyage coinciding with the 2006 Commonwealth Games. Locals and tourists alike took the opportunity to visit the ship and learn about life on an 18th century scientific exploration vessel.
You can read more about the ship including the Captain's log of her latest journey here.
