Wreck of the Batavia

The Batavia was a Dutch East India Company ship that foundered on the coral reefs of the Houtman Albrolhos Islands, 60 kilometres (37 mi) off the coast of Western Australia, just before dawn on 4 June 1629. It was the flagship of a fleet of seven vessels that set sail for the Dutch East Indies in October 1628.

I just got back from a little road-trip through the Netherlands. Checked a few boxes of must see things. With a dad who’s been a seaman for 20 years and me as an art historian/archaeologist, our trip was surprisingly boat-themed.

“De Amsterdam” replica of the 1749 ship that wrecked on the coast of Hastings and who’s still visible sometimes. And little me next to it. The ship below is even bigger.

The “Batavia” from 1628. This ship was involuntarily part of the first Western settlement on Australia. Mutiny caused the ship to sail too far East and wreck on the coast of Australia. Captain Cook would only arrive in Australia more than 100 years later.

There’s no surviving guidelines on how the build a Spiegelretourschip/East India men from the 17th century. The father to son craft had disappeared. Until a river boat maker in the 1980s decided to follow his childhood dream and make an East India Man. All he knew about the original ship was how wide and how long she was. And he had enough with that. His experience did the rest. And he just began building in a Frisian field with his son. He took in people left out by society and taught them wood and metal working so they could go on in life. And similarly to the original ship, after she was released from the shipyard, she sailed perfectly.
