Batavia was the flagship of a convoy under the command of Francois Pelsaert, bound for the United Dutch East India Company. On its maiden voyage, it wrecked in 1629 on Morning Reef, off the West Australian coast. Most of the ship's crew and passengers were able to reach the nearby islands. Batavia was also the old name for Indonesia's capital, Jakarta. Today, part of the Batavia wreckage lies preserved for all to see in the Geraldton Maritime Museum, in Western Australia. In 1985, a group set about to build an exact sized replica of the Batavia. It took 10 years, to build a life-size, true replica where everything works, including the guns. This life-size replica of the Batavia is moored at the National Maritime Museum in Sydney, Australia.

31" long x 11" Wide x 25" High

Requires hundreds of hours to build from scratch (not from a model kit) by our master artisans. Plank on frame construction (a painstaking process where each individual plank is added to the hull one at a time). Built with rare, high quality woods such as rosewood, cherry, teak and birch. The model rests perfectly on a large wood base between four arched dolphins. Masterfully stitched canvas sails. Metal anchors and machine turned brass cannons. Significant deck detail. To build this ship, extensive research was done using various sources such as museums, drawings and copies of original plans.
