Stad Amsterdam arriving in Melbourne
Back in September we posted about a group of historians and naturalists, as well as a film crew for Dutch VPRO Television sailing on the Stad Amsterdam. The ship is retracing the voyage of HMS Beagle on the 150th anniversary of the publication of Darwin’s On the Origin of the Species. See Retracing Darwin’s Journey – 150 Years Later. The ship arrived in Sydney, Australia earlier this month and last week called at Melbourne. Visit the project website here (in Dutch and English.)
