The Batavia: The Darkest Dutch Story in Australia

The Batavia is one of the most infamous shipwrecks in Australian history—but I had no idea just how dark this story really was. In this Dutch reaction, I discover the tragic voyage of the Dutch East India Company (VOC) ship Batavia, its shipwreck off the coast of Western Australia, and the shocking events that followed. As a Dutchman, this is a part of our history that I had never explored in detail. From the first Dutch explorers to New Holland and the VOC, Australia's early European history is far more fascinating than I ever imagined. If you enjoy discovering the real Australia beyond kangaroos, beaches and the Sydney Opera House, welcome t Video suggestion for me?
