I'll start with the most complicated ship.

Duyfken


Duyfken is a replica of a small ship sent by the Dutch East India Company to explore beyond the known. In 1606 they charted the Cape York Peninsula (the big, pointy bit in the top, right corner) on the first recorded voyage by Europeans to the Great South Land. So she's a bit different to the usual 19th and 20th century ships, replica & original.
