Here some photo's of the Batavia:
Stern view with crest of Amsterdam in a prominent position.
Portside looking from stern towards the bows.I just love that golden brown colour.
Portside view of bow and beakhead.
View towards the quarterdeck. The wheel was added for the trip to Australia where they really sailed the Batavia. Looks awfully out of place though. The steering on the Batavia was done using a "Kolderstok" and I am stumped for the translation here. Maybe John T. can help here.
Looking forward from underneath the quarterdeck towards the focsle.
This little guy can be seen looking through a port on the starboard side of the ship in the photo in the "not like the Constitution" thread. His "Job" was to keep an eye on the helmsman and stop him from falling asleep or drifting off course.
More to come...........................
