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.
