Batavia: Wooden Ship Model

Batavia was a ship of the Dutch East India Company.

Batavia was built in Amsterdam 1628 and was equipped with 24 cast iron cannon.

Batavia was shipwrecked on her maiden voyage off the west coast of Australia when she ran aground and gained notoriety from the subsequent mutiny and massacre that took place among the survivors.

A 20th-century replica of the ship is also called the Batavia.

The Batavia Model Ship was originally researched and built for the Hong Kong Maritime Museum.

The Museum requested an antique look for this model.

Where appropriate, all scale ship models are constructed with hardwood using the plank-on-frame technique and built to scale using ships' drawings. The models use cotton sails and rigging and in the case of the larger vessels are suitable for use as exhibits in galleries or museums. Many models are available in sizes 1 or 3/4 with both models offering the same level of detail.
