Taken at the West Australian Museum, Geraldton, Western Australia
In 1973, 137 sandstone blocks were raised from the wreck site of the Batavia, which sank in 1622 at Morning Reef in the Houtman Abrolhos, off the coast of Western Australia.
On return to Fremantle, and after conservation, work started on identification of their significance on board the ship. It became obvious that the blocks made up a portal or portico façade. Research in the archives identified it as destined for the Waterport of the Castle at Batavia. An engraving by Pieter van den Broecke in 1629 at Batavia shows the Castle, with scaffolding in place and the Waterport unfinished.

I am a keen photographer and digital artist. My particular interest is in nature with emphasis on floral work and landscapes. My gallery on this site also contains some of my manipulated photography and photo paintings, most of which have originated from my photography. You will also find some digital art in the form of fractals, kaleidoscopes and patterns, some created from my photography. Sit back and enjoy. All images are ©Elaine Teague. All rights reserved. When you purchase an image, the Fine Art America watermark will not appear on it. Also, you can adjust the size of the image on most products using the image size slider bar or by using your mouse to grab the image.

I thought at first that this was the Fremantle Museum display - have they moved it, or is this a second Batavia exhibit. Great shot anyway
