The Batavia was a 17th-century VOC mirror ship, built in 1628, made famous by its 1629 shipwreck off the coast of Australia and the subsequent massacres of the survivors. Today, a replica of the ship is on display at Museum Batavialand in Lelystad.
The ship was used for trade voyages to the Dutch East Indies and was a symbol of the power of the VOC, designed for long and dangerous voyages.
