Batavia: Australia's darkest tale - podcast (original) (raw)

Abstract

Batavia was the flagship of the fleet for 1628-1629 and it was travelling from Holland, from The Netherlands, to what were called the Dutch East Indies at that time. They are now called Indonesia. It was carrying several hundred people and it was going out there to bring back all the goods from the East which couldn't be obtained in Europe at the time – spices, porcelain and silk, all that sort of material.
