The
Gilt Dragon Incident
by
Harry Turner
This
is a fictional account of the final voyage of the United (Dutch)
East Indies Company) ship Vergulde Draeck or Gilt Dragon from
the Netherlands bound for the East Indies (now Indonesia) in 1655.
On the 28 April 1656 she ran onto a reef 5 kms off the west coast
of the Southland between the present day towns of Guilderton and
Ledge Point in Western Australia
It tells the story of one Abraham Leeman - the understeersman
(second mate) of the ship - and his heroic efforts in getting
help and then returning to look for his true love, other survivors
and the treasure ....
This is an absorbing story of love, drama, courage and determination
based on historical facts.

The
Duyfken and its master Willem Janszoon by
Joan I Smith
11.1
The Duyfken
in
Australia: AUD$
20.00 incl postage.
When
in 1606 a small Dutch ship named Duyfken made a landing
on Cape York Peninsula it turned out to be the first recorded
visit by Europeans to the Southland (Australia) - 164 years before
the arrival of Captain Cook.
Very little was known of the ship's Master - Willem Janszoon.
Yet his life and career were quite remarkable for although he
started life as a foundling he became a valued member of the United
(Dutch) EastIndies Company (VOC).
Beneath the exterior of an ordinary man he was a clever navigator
and strategist which ultimately led him to become an Admiral and
Governor of Banda. The story, which is a reconstruction made up
of both fiction and historical facts, has a page turning quality.
A heartwarming history for young and old alike.
