We made a selection of some of the pages out of the book. Just click on the small thumbnails to enlarge, this small enlargement can also be enlarged to a bigger image by clicking on the ' + ' sign. In a compromise between internet speed for slow connections and quality we had to reduce the image quality a little for this extensive on-screen preview. This to avoid long download times. Be assured that the image and text quality in the book is pushed to the extreme.

Follow this link to a small gallery with historical drawings of Batavia's long boat. These very drawings (actually taken from this website) where used by some folks in Geraldton Western Australia to reconstruct a longboat as being the longboat used by Pelsaert and part of his crew in a heroic journey to organise the rescue party for his stranded people of the Batavia in 1629.
