Cape Keerweer

Cape Turnaround literally

As a former Captain of the Duyfken replica ship. Retelling the story of the original VOC Dutch Captain, it came to light from his journey through the East Indies to Nova Guinea.

The Chart below is evidence of the voyage being turned around at Cape Yorke, 170 years before Captain Cook and the Endeavour sailed into the East Coast of Australia ( Jan Willemszoon was lost and still reckoning on his being in New Guinea..)
