In 1652, a Dutch expedition of 90 **Calvinist** settlers, under the
command of  Jan Van Riebeeck, founded the first permanent settlement
near the
Cape of Good Hope. They arrived, on 6 April  1652, on board of five
ships, the Reijer, the Oliphant, the Goede Hoop, the Walvisch end the
Dromedaris in the bay of today's Cape Town.
