Description
-
The Dromedaris, Captain D. W. Fletcher's recreation of Jan van Riebeeck's frigate which brought the first settlers to Cape Town, is a focal point of the Cape Town Festival. After the festival the full-scale model and inanimate crew will be taken to pieces and re-erected in other provinces. Later, plans are to have the 'ship' exhibited in Amsterdam, where already one of the glass-topped canal cruisers bears the name of the first Cape settler.
