Leeuwin (ship)

Three ships of the Dutch East India Company (Dutch: Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie, commonly abbreviated to VOC) and its pre-companies have been named Leeuwin,[1][2] including the galleon from which parts of the southwest coastline of Australia were first mapped in March 1622.[3]

  • Leeuwin (1621) was a galleon with tonnage 400 that travelled to the East Indies five times, returning four times.[2] Following its last arrival in the East Indies in 1632, it was laid up in 1640.[2]

The sail training ship STS Leeuwin II is based in Fremantle, Western Australia.[6]
