		The VOC Zuytdorp was a trading ship of the Dutch East India Company in the 1700s.
		Many trading ships of the time had started to use a "fast route" to Indonesia which used the strong Roaring Forties winds to carry them across the Indian Ocean to within sight of the west coast of Australia from whence they would make a left turn and head North towards Indonesia.
		An infamous predecessor of the Zuytdorp, the VOC Batavia (ship) was wrecked not far away on the Houtman Abrolhos islands and after the following mutiny, atrocities, massacres and trials, two of the mutineers had been marooned on the Australian mainland, not far North from the later wreck of the Zuytdorp.
