There is considerable information on the Internet about the original Batavia that was built in 1628 for the Dutch East India Company and which was shipwrecked off the coast of Australia a year later. Her story includes a mutiny and the massacre of some of the passengers and crew. The replica ship was photographed by me on an APS camera with the paper print then scanned into a computer to produce the image shown here. The Batavia replica was built in Holland between 1985 and 1995 using traditional materials and tools. The replica was transported to Australia by barge and put on display in Australia's National Maritime Museum in Sydney to act as the Dutch Flagship for its Olympic team at that years (2000) Olympic Games. Having boarded and looked around the replica vessel it was impossible for me to imagine what shipboard life and the on-board conditions were for over three hundred passengers (including women) and crew when the original Batavia sailed to Australia. The image was captured from a pleasure boat motoring in Darling Harbour Sydney.
