Editorial Reviews:

In 1606 the Duyfken became the first European ship to touch and chart Australian shores and its crew were the first recorded Europeans on Australian soil. This vivid history of the tiny Dutch sailing ship reveals dramatic details of the naval battles, and recounts events from the perspective of Aboriginal elders.

Summary: Building a Replica Ship
Comment: Sent Forth a Dove provides an insight into the first European ship recorded in history to visit Australia and the work by a team of people in Fremantle, Australia to build a replica of the ship. This book brings together little known parts of the Duyfken story, including background history of the Dutch East India Company (VOC). A good read for students of maritime history, shipbuilding and the Aboriginal history of Australia.
