The Batavia
One of Australia's most famous shipwrecks, the Dutch East Indies Company ship Batavia was en-route on its maiden voyage to the port of the same name (now Jakarta) when it went aground in 1629 on the islands of Houtmans Abrolhos off Australia's west coast. And that was only the start of an amazing story of mutiny, murder, mayhem and retribution, all explained in this link. The link (recommended) also has many fine images of a modern replica of the Batavia.
The wreck was found in the 1960s and, in the 1970s, maritime archaeologists recovered much of the cargo and a section of the hull. Amazingly, it had survived the wave action for over 340 years under part of the cargo which included the bricks and stonework seen in these images.
Yes, that rope around the display is a fence, so Happy Fence Friday, everyone, and I hope your weekend goes well.
