You probably refer to the first fleet sailing from Europe to the Cape as its specific destination, which was that of Jan van Riebeeck (because even the old Phoenicians could have rounded the Cape in small fleets far, far back in history and nobody will know how long these voyages took.) But commander Van Riebeeck left the Netherlands with the ships Reijger, Drommedaris and Goede Hoop just before Christmas Day on 24 December 1651, to reach the Cape on 6 April 1652. He was commissioned to establish a refreshment station at the Cape for ships sailing to and from East, not to colonize the Cape.
