100 years of Dutch explorations of Australia
|
| In the darkness of the morning of June 1629, the VOC ship Batavia struck a reef in the Abrolhos Islands off the coast of Terra Australis Incognita...The resulting dark and grisly tale horrified the world... |
| Now a replica of the original Pelsaert's journal, that brought the horror of the mutiny to the world, is on display along with a collection of early charts, documents and books at the WA Maritime Museum's
