A personal book project, three years documenting the construction of the replica VOC spice trader 'Duyfken'.

This book is almost a manual on how to build and sail a VOC era sailing ship.

Beautifully photographed, designed and illustrated, this book also illustrates why this type of ship evolved ... to serve the spice trade.

Shot in Australia and Indonesia.
