Assessment[edit]

I've assessed this as B, because although reasonably brief, as the article says little is known of the ship and it is unlikely that a large expansion as it now stands will occur. What is there is well-referenced and well-written. —Moondyne 06:56, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

dates of return[edit]

If the Leuuwin returning to Holland reached the Cape of Good Hope on 27 March, how can it possibly have anchored at St Helena in the South Atlantic on 18 March? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brutus johns (talk • contribs) 01:03, 18 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
