Duyfken (Dutch pronunciation:[ˈdœy̯f.kən]; Little Dove), also in the form Duifje or spelled Duifken or Duijfken, was a small ship built in the Dutch Republic. She was a fast, lightly armed ship probably intended for shallow water, small valuable cargoes, bringing messages, sending provisions, or privateering.[1] The tonnage of Duyfken has been given as 25-30 lasten (50-60 tons).[2]: 14
In 1606, during a voyage of discovery from Bantam (Banten), Java, captained by Willem Janszoon, she encountered the Australian mainland.[3] Janszoon is credited with the first authenticated European landing on Australia.[4] In 1608, the ship was damaged beyond repair.
A reproduction of Duyfken was built in Australia and launched in 1999.[5]
