About the Book

A spell was cast over Graeme Cocks when he was summoned to coffee and cinnamon biscuits

at an unassuming house in Fremantle, Western Australia, in 1994. For the next 20 years, he

could not release himself from the grip of a little sailing ship called Duyfken - the Little Dove.

Against all odds, a magnificent 16th century Dutch sailing ship was conceived and

constructed in the heart of the old port city of Fremantle. Hailed as the finest 'Age of

Discovery' replica ship ever built, Duyfken was sailed on two momentous voyages across the

world's great oceans to Indonesia and then to Europe. And along the way, the old narrative of

the first ship recorded in history to visit Australia was rewritten.

Through Darkest Seas tells the previously untold story of the replica, from its genesis in the

imagination of a Dutch immigrant, to the challenge of building a remarkable ship using

traditional skills, and the people who built and sailed her.

It is the complete inside account of these achievements which has never been told before.

Graeme Cocks was there from the beginning and then he ran the project through its most

glorious and difficult years. The book documents the triumphant highs and tragic lows and

the incredible cast of personalities who shared the Duyfken dream.

It is the first time this wonderful story has been told -

a story of pain and hardship, of euphoric achievements

and of questioning the very reasons why the ship was

even built to begin with. Come aboard, for a journey

Through Darkest Seas.
