Artist's Description

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.

Well, I'm not sure. I definitely took this photo in 2009 in the Geraldton museum, but there is the same archway in the Fremantle museum. I don't know whether the Geraldton one was demolished and then rebuilt in Fremantle (which is likely) or whether a replica was built in Fremantle.

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
