TIED UP: The replica ship Duyfken.

Volume 49, No. 15, August 24, 2006

Two heavily armed ships from different centuries spent a week in Brisbane late last month.

With cannons bristling from her ports and rails was the 17th century replica of the Dutch sailing ship of discovery, the 110-tonne Duyfken.
Her port visits to Brisbane and nearby Redcliffe were part of a voyage to recognise the 1606 exploits of CAPT Willem Janzoon who, in the original Duyfken, mapped 350 kilometres of the western shore of Cape York.

In Brisbane during the same week was a warship of the 20th century.

She was the Los Angeles Class attack submarine USS City of Corpus Christi.
