		The Batavia was the impressive new flagship of the Dutch East India Company, and it was during its maiden voyage to its namesake in Java that it struck a reef in the Abrolhos Islands, some 80 kilometres off the Western Australian coast.
		Evacuations by boat commenced to one of the nearby islands (Beacon Island), later to be known as Batavia's Graveyard, scene of the worst of the massacres.
		With Pelsaert and the disgraced skipper, Adriaen Jacobsz, both gone, Jeronimus Cornelisz, who was responsible for the ship's cargo, began to hatch a variation on the mutinous plan that had been brewing in his mind since before the Batavia came to grief.

		As the ship came on, the moon was bright enough to pick out some of the larger details along the hull: her figurehead (a wooden lion springing upward), a tangled mass of rigging, the giant iron anchors lashed upside down along her sides.
		Although the moon was bright that evening, there was too little light for the ship to be identified by the flags that writhed and snapped from all three of her masts, and there was little sign of activity on deck.
		It was not a responsibility that weighed heavily on the skipper.

		On October 28 1628 the VOC East Indiamen ship Batavia sailed from Texel in the North of the Netherlands on her maiden journey to Batavia (now Jakarta, Indonesia).
		Other major characters on board the Batavia that were to play a significant part on the voyage were the Undermerchant Jeronimus Corneliszoon, an ex-apothecary, a young Lady called Lucretia van der Mijlen traveling to join her husband in Batavia, and Zwaantje Hendrix her maid.
		On their way to Batavia, two mutineers, Wouter Loos, a soldier, and Jan Pelgrom de Bye, a cabin boy, were left marooned on the Australian mainland at Wittecarra Gully, near the mouth of the Murchison River, thereby becoming Australia's first European settlers.

		In the dim eerie moonlight, 2 hours before dawn, on June 4, 1629, Batavia lurches to a grinding halt, stuck fast on a coral reef, 2 miles from the nearest island.
		Water is desperately short on the islands, and those in the boats, including Jacobsz, Pelsaert and most of the VOC officers, seize the chance to head for Java.
		Suspecting nothing of the grisly events on Batavia's Graveyard, they had sent the prearranged smoke signal: a perplexing message to Jeronimus' mutineers, for though their own water was running low, the continued survival of the soldiers threatened their own success.

		After that ship was wrecked and the survivors had reached shore, the commander of the BATAVIA, Francisco Pelsart, together with the master sailed to Batavia for help, leaving the survivors, with only a small supply of water, to an uncertain fate on a group of small islands.
		On 18 March the ship anchored on the north coast of Rottnest, the island was explored and it is recorded that the ship was scraped below the waterline.
		However, it is interesting to note in the correspondence from Batavia that it was left to the discretion of the Heeren XVII (the Directors of the VOC in the Netherlands) to issue instructions for a galliot to call in at the Southland 'in case anybody can be found'.

		The Batavia was the pride of the Company’s fleet, a tangible symbol of the world’s richest and most powerful commercial monopoly.
		Unluckily for the mutineers, the Batavia’s commander had raised the alarm in Java, and at the height of the violence the Company’s gunboats sailed over the horizon.
