Once upon a time the only way to travel far was by boat Some of these boats have been remade. I visited one of them in the harbour of Sydney.
The Batavia is a nice ship to see of course, and it also stimulates your imagination of "how it must have been". It is certainly strange to see such an ancient ship docked with other modern ships, with the elegant Sydney skyline as a background. An anachronism, certainly. But at the same time, you realise that had these ships never been built, had those people never had the courage to sail them to unknown destinations, our world would have looked so much more different now.
