Poseidon and his sea

Of salt and soda cans, bearded waves and jumping doors.

The Batavia


This fantastic piece of history was rebuilt in 1985 by volunteers. What I find of particular interest is that they used the old crafts and methods and that it took them 10 years to complete using the remains of the original which are kept in the Australian maritime museum in Fremantle.
You can visit this beauty in Lelystad, Holland. (see the link for a virtual tour)
