THE WRECK OF THE BATAVIA
The scenario
On June 4, 1629, the Dutch East India Company ship Batavia ran aground off Western Australia. More than 250 survivors reached the nearby islands. Four days later, Commander Francisco Pelsaert left in a longboat with about 40 men to search for water. Unable to find any on the mainland, they continued north to Batavia, now Jakarta, to seek help.
