[Sealife]

I would like to suggest to re-populate the seas, during my travels I have not seen a single member of the animal kingdom in the water.

Did we harpoon all the whales, sharks, seals and catched all the fish ?

Capitaine La Motte

[Age of Sail Replica Ships.]

The Dutch Batavia was originally build on the Pepperwarf in Amsterdam in 1628 by order of the Dutch East India Company (VOC). It was specially designed to to make the long journey (9 months) to and from the East Indies. The reconstruction of the Batavia started in 1985 on the shipwarf of Almere, The Netherlands.

The master shipbuilder Willem Vos only used original materials and building methods. The Batavia is built entirely out of Danish Oak and is decorated with several hundred hand-carved figures and ornaments.

On the 7th of April in the year 1995 A.D. the Batavia was christened and launched by the hand of her Royal Highness Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands, first of her name.
