VOC replica 'The Duyfken'

In 1999, we at Langman supplied the first meters of rope for "De Duyfken"
in 2002 made the crossing from Australia to the Netherlands, 18.200 nautical miles with Langmantouw HempFlax ropes.

Duyfken is a magnificent replica of the first European ship to reach Australia in 1606. As a full-scale reproduction of the original ship, built based on historical research and computer modeling, everything you see offers an authentic and tangible insight into how the crew lived and worked during their six-month voyage.

From classic to high-tech – we keep track.
