Batavialand - Audio tour De Batavia
In this audio tour, we take you right through the ship the Batavia, the replica of the 17th century ship of the same name. You will learn what all parts of the ship are called and what life on board must have been like. Follow the audio route, then you won't miss a thing and every room will be explained to you.
The Batavia was built between 1985 and 1995. As a shipbuilder, Willem Vos wanted to recreate a historical ship. He also wanted to preserve the crafts, which are so important when building a ship, in this way. The choice fell on the Batavia, a ship about which much has already been written in the 17th century. But construction drawings of the Batavia do not exist. Willem Vos studied archives and historical ships. The Swedish ship the Vasa provided a lot of information on shipbuilding techniques from the 17th century.

The Batavia is maintained by the masters, participants in apprenticeships and many committed volunteers. The ship the Batavia can actually sail and was used for the filming of the feature films Michiel de Ruyter and Scheepjongens van Bontekoe. During the Olympic Games in 2000, the Batavia visited Australia where it sailed independently at sea.
The Batavia is part of Museum Batavialand. You can buy a ticket at the museum for just De Batavia or in combination with the shipyard and the museum. You play the audio tour when you arrive at the ship.
