Inside Dutch Ship Batavia 1628 🇳🇱
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 вер 2020
- ■ LELYSTAD, NETHERLANDS: In the year 1628, the Dutch Merchant ship Batavia, named after the Germanic tribe the Romans called Batavians who inhabited the lands we today call Netherlands, was launched into the North Sea. Engulfed in an existential struggle with Spain and Portugal at the time, the Dutch Republic had still managed to become one of Europe's greatest sea-fearing trading nations.
The Batavia although a merchant ship were also equipped to be able to mount a substantial defense of her crew and cargo. Merchant ships, although not a part of the Dutch navy in peace time, were capable of fending for themselves and in times of escalating tensions with other imperial, doubled as regular navy ships.
Exorbitantly expensive to build, these cargo ships were nonetheless immensely profitable, and was responsible for Dutch living standards living standards being the envy of her larger European neighbors.
At the height of what historians have dubbed the Dutch golden age in the, roughly most of the 17th century, the company that owned many of these ships, the VOC, or Dutch East India company was the most valuable company in the world.
So what exactly did the ships responsible for this wealth, power and glory look like? What was it like to be a sailor on such a ship? And what were conditions like during the journey? How did they navigate? Join me as I thoroughly investigate the Batavia, a replica of a Dutch VOC ship built almost 400 years ago.....

- For more information on Batavia (the ship) or Batavialand (The Museum Complex) which also houses the ship, see their website for details. The money raised through ticket sales at Batavialand goes to the much needed maintenance needed to keep this marvel of engineering in mint condition so anyone who so wishes can experience it first hand.
■ GETTING THERE: The Batavia ship is located 50 minutes by taxi from downtown Amsterdam in the city of Lelystad. You can also take a train or bus for a much cheaper journey. There is also a VOC replica ship at the Amsterdam Maritime Museum. I recommend visiting them both but if you only have time for one, the Batavia ship of Lelystad offers a better experience as well as having more historical and technical information available on site from the staff and volunteers.
■ FRED AS GUIDE: If you wish to meet Fred, the fantastic guide you saw in this video, he volunteers on Tuesdays. Contact the museum for more details.

Nice
Keep the videos coming boss!
Cool
Hey, it was just moved! For the first time I know of, at least. Did they say anything about that?
Hey Harald ,are you any relation to Torgeir from Lilehammer? Hmm?
This guy has been waiting for this moment his whole life.
Lol very enthusiastic he was
No life has been waiting for him.
MIG 101 he always is. I know him.
Thats how most dutch guids are

He's like a character in a game introducing to you how the world functions.

Actually this video are only the tutorial
Look, Gordon! A Rope!
Hornblower finished this tutorial for sure
He reminds me of the older man in Civilizations lol
Fred is one of the best volunteers I've ever seen. His enthusiasm is amazing. There is no doubt that he loves what he's does. Great for him!
I actually love his accent, you can really hear it being a dutch person.
Is it true that some Dutch peoples accents and Im talking native accent, from some regions in the Netherland are very similar to North East American accents? Or is it because most Dutchman speak English from an early age that over time they start to develop an American sounding accent. Because to be honest. When I hear Dutch people speak Dutch some words they say sound like they have no foreign accent to me becuase it literally sounds like half the time they're just speaking a foreign language with no accent at all.
@@zachbocchino5501 Pays to proofread sir
@@CoolcatsSk8 Yeah I see what you mean. My apologies 😂
@Ramone Bronwasser How is that a non native English speaker like yourself is able to recognize what a Texan accent sounds like. Are you able to distinguish the differences? Because I am not able to know what a dialect from Frankfurt may sound like compared to any high German speaker. That goes the same for Russians, Italians, Frenchman, Romanians, Norwegians, etc.
@@zachbocchino5501 I doubt that you watch as much German TV or listen as much German music like we do watch and listen American Media.
We just have tons of American media over here and many Germans and Dutchs speak English very well and from a relative early age.
Lol: 'we then insert the kruit', lol he means gunpowder. Love it when dutchies just say dutch words in an english accent and then think its an english word.
Maybe he means the krauts ;)
‘brand clean’ ‘seal’

Dear Harald,
Amazing content, as usual. As a historian originating from the Netherlands, I have to correct you on some things, of which one I will discuss below. When you say that the economic strain to build a warship was significant compared to contemporary days, you will have to imagine that the Dutch Republic (or the Republic of the United Provinces) was then effectively ruled by firstly the state, but secondly, mighty commercial (one might even say the first multinational company) that was the VOC (Dutch East India Company) As they had almost a monopoly on spice trade from the east indies for a long time, warships in order to protect trade and the political integrity of the Republic (vital to economic interests) were also to a significant degree funded by these mighty economic powerhouses. The economic strain on building these on the state were therefore quite minimal. See it as an Amazon now funding a battleship for the USA in order to protect its own economic interests, would not be too big of a problem :)
Harald: What is this?
Fritz: Yes.
hahaha
His name is Frits btw.. Fritz is the German variant haha
I love how the guy speaks perfect english and still you can hear the dutch accent!
@Meyer Mica Wow thats rude man >:(
@Meyer Mica And no one asked :)
indeed, great guide too...
For a Dutch person his english is actually on the bad side. He is literally translating Dutch to english (keeps calling gunpowder "kruid"), so i can see he never studied the language or didnt pay attention in class much.
A lot of Dutch people can speak perfect english, meaning without using Dutch grammar and accents. But his is good, just not perfect.
Jaa zeker ja haha
He sounds like he should be a pirate in the Peter Pan movie .
and the moustache to match it!
And this is killing me 😆

I saw this ship in Sydney, Australia back in the 1990's. An incredible experience and a testament to the skilled workers who put her together.
As a Dutchman with an interest in our naval tradition I still learned absolute shit tonnes from this video. Fred is an absolute treasure. Thanks Harald!
@Hero I did, and what has happened in the past is atrocious. That is why we need to preserve it so we can learn from it.
just tips: learn also how bloody VOC and dutch was. i hope you dont feel so proud about VOC that colonized Indonesia for 350 years.

If I ever visit the nation, I will be sure to stop by Batavialand. Old merchant and naval ships have always fascinated me.
Fred is awesome, I could talk to him all day about history
The unfinished ship was going to be a replica of the "zeven provinciën" which was the flagship of the Dutch navy under admiral Michiel de Ruyter. Who was one of the best admirals of his time (some would say even the best).
Hij is een nationale held
Ik hoop dat ze het schip nog in mijn leven weten te herbouwen
Ja en ze maken in nederland in Rotterdam nog meer schepen
Yes in the netherlands in Rotterdam they make more ships out of his time
Some would say just a pirate slave trading scumbag.

Love Fred’s enthusiasm the Dutch are legends will defo give this a visit when I’m next in the Netherlands 🇳🇱 🤝 🇬🇧
what an amazing dude Fred is!
a heart from Haraldo my life is complete
i love listening to guides who are passionate about their topic, they always know soo much more
Frits is quite expressive in telling the stories. He seems so proud of the Dutch's war glory
Don't be too harsh, these were the last times we got to play in the big leagues.
And history is cool anyway. It's nice to be passionate about something. You can see Frits loves this stuff.
I agree that this is one of the best attractions of our country. It tells something about it's rich history. Fred mentioned traveling to "India", wich is not quite the right translation. What he meant is the Dutch Indies or as we called it Indië, present day Indonesia. He also tells about the goods that these kind of ships brought back to the Netherlands. Things like peppers, cloves, nutmeg and cinnamon. Unfortunately not this ship. It broke down on it's maiden voyage near the west coast of Australia due to bad navigation. It had 12 chests of gold and silver coins, jewels, luxury clothing, wine and cheese on board for trading purposes. It also contained a vast amount of sandstone blocks for the build of a castle in Batavia, present day Jakarta
Is completely true what you write
Good information thanks. I grew up on stories about this ship, a true horror befell the crew off the coast of Western Australia . Some of the crew became the first Europeans to permanently "settle" on the mainland of Australia. I recommend anybody reading this to delve further into the Mutiny that took place here, it was truly a grotesque situation. There are sections of the original ship on display at the Museum of Western Australia . If you are more adventurous, the wreck of the ship is a diving destination off the West Australian coast.
Thats true bro, im Indonesian and what u write was true
Great informational video. 💯👏 I am from Suriname. Suriname has been an Dutch colony. Batavia is a town in Saramacca District, in the north of Suriname, in the Calcutta resort of the Saramacca district. There is a little harbour near Batavia where the offices of the Nederlandse Handelsmaatschappij were located. Between 1873 and 1883, contract workers who were recruited from Java to work the plantations, were transported by the Nederlandse Handelsmaatschappij, and arrived in Batavia.
@@rattansudhish2948 Yes we are brother, many surinames people speak java language and if know we are glad to have maestro Didi Kempot .
Fritz was making me laugh, every few minutes he would be asking you a question to see if you were paying attention 2 his tutorial just like you were a little kid on his tour.
Do you know why because Fritz love to make tours like this one
fred
I could listen to Fred forever, he's a superb tourguide/historian.
I'm so glad one of the first things on the ship he showed was the toilet and how they wiped. That was equally as funny as it was fascinating.
The Dutch where the biggest spice traders in those times and still refuse to season their food :P
😂😂😂😂
Damn true!
Hahahahaha so true😂
The Dutch make good pannenkoeken.
They get a pass becuase of their stroop waffles alone lol
Fritz (Fredz?) is an amazing historian/guide. You can hear the excitement and love he has for his countries history.

@@phillipedwardness9591 Fredz
A lot of dutch people are very aware of the black pages in their history but neglect to look at the context and the amazing things it has brought them and the world. So they will know the bad but not be aware of any of the good.
Really weird. But stems from the idiot self-loathing marxists that have invaded dutch education since the 80's, more and more.
@@dirk5720 Read again. What did I just say?
Misschien moet je ff terug naar school gaan pikkestein. Kan je je engels bijschaven want als je niet begrijpt wat ik daar net zei dan is dat hard nodig. Meer specifiek: focus je op tekstbegrip bijschaven.
@@dirk5720 Als jij hebt gelezen en jij denkt dat ik onzin uitkraam ben jij niet erg goed in tekstbegrip. Of je bent gewoon dom of onwetend doordat je in een kleine bubbel leeft. Dat kan ook.
Of, en dat zijn echt de laatste 2 opties: je komt niet uit de Randstad. Of bent een oude knakker. Oude knakkers haten NL niet zo omdat ze beter weten. En buiten de Randstad zit het minder volgestampt met linkse idioten.
De zelfhaat in NL is groot onder dat soort types door onwetendheid en desinteresse.
I immediately liked Fred, he is so enthusiastic and fun. you can see he really likes his job. You can also immediatelty tell that Fred is Dutch😂 Those pronunciations are the best😂 lekker bezig fred, hoop dat je nog veel plezier van dit werk hebt
I like the way he explains everything in a friendly charecter
I live in the town of Geraldton western Australia, close to the resting place of the Batavia. I have dived on the wreck and grew up on the islands where the marooned sailors and passengers were stranded. Old mate fritz didn't go into too much detail about the mutiny but it a truly unique story of true hero's and villians. Cornelius was a murderer worse then any known to this day, yet acted like Charles Manson. The captain "pelsart" achieved an extraordinary mission in sailing a very small rescue boat about 3-4000 Kilometers to what is now Jakarta.
We have a replica of this rescue boat here in Geraldton, some locals sailed it about 50-60kilometers and swore to never repeat it. Our seas here are very tough and windy. Our coast is rated as one of the windiest on the earth. Other hero's were a small group of soldiers that had a bit of a battle with Cornelius's crew. The leader of these soldiers was a man named Webbi hayse. They were actually in battle as pelsart returned with a rescue party. After 400 years there are still things around on those Barron deserlet islands. And so many remains have been excavated.
The Batavia story is by far the best story never told and would make and extraordinary movie one day if done right. We the people of Geraldton would love to have this replica ship visit one day and for the story to be shown to everyone.
There is a movie about michiel de ruyter.. i think with the batavia.. havnt seen it tho
Not sure
Wiebbe Hayes.
Mike Dash wrote an excellent book (Batavia’s Graveyard, 2001) about the shipwreck and mutiny, so it's not totally untold.
Indeed. I am amazed there isn't yet a top feature film made about it.
@@MVEProducties I saw some documentaries on this. It is a very interesting story.
@@dennisbakker5262 It's basically a gross throbbing dutch nationalism boner and rutger hauer is the best thing in the movie but he's killed off in the first 10 minutes. Charles Dance isn't put to any real use in it either.
Yes, 1 hour of quality content 🤩
Defragged History has a 4 part retelling of the Batavia. From being built..the murders..the second planned mutiny, all the history. The gal does a bangup job pronouncing all those names. And no commercials!
There is a Dutch documentary about the guy who build this ship. He started in a field with no funding with his wife and son. No one had build such a ship because no plans were made. But he managed to do it just with his knowledge of small ship building and knowing the width and length of the original Batavia
Dutch guides seem to have so much passion! The wood shoe shop guy as well
I like how the guide lowers his voice when he tells you something about war strategy or something. As if it’s still a secret haha.
Circling back to watch all Harald's vlogs yet again because they're so much more interesting and entertaining than any Netflix show. For a 'historophile' I especially love all the subtle details of the history of your adventures and investigations! Also, Fred/Fritz is an absolute gem
Super nice to watch, volunteers like this make it such a great experience. These are men you remember all your life.
19:36 "Jan" was the most common Dutch name, while "Kaas" is Cheese in Dutch so the British called the Dutch "Jan Kaas", in English pronounced as Yan-kees. By the time the Dutch settled in America at an island in the river Hudson (Manhattan) and started Fort New-Amsterdam (New York), they were wearing the name yankees as a badge of honor.
@Nina de B wacht wat
@Nina de B ich habs nicht gewusst... echt interessant!🤔👍
and then years later they would trade New Amsterdam with Run in the Banda Archipelago. Other than little number of Indonesians, the rest of the world would never heard of Run anymore.
@@wenderis Run indeed, and also the country of Suriname on November 10th 1674 which was valuable for its plantations and spices. They still speak Dutch today..
@@Gearz70 spices comes later when they found ways to transplant spices from Indonesia (cloves, nutmegs, etc). First it was all about slavery and plantations.
Fred, what a legend. 09:45 - from Dutch English straight to East London
That's the same accent wich you can hear in Rotterdam XD
old dutch heads talking english switch from accent to accent also has to do with their own dialect and they watch a lot of foreign movies on BBC.
LMAOOO
Brilliant - good hearing! :-)
This made me crack up xd
the Yes man is not a man it is a spirit and it is following you :D..fantastic guide loaded with passion
Watching this tour video really makes me think a lot of how comfortable we are living in nowadays... Things like toilets/lights that we used to think pretty common turns out that its really rare back in the time.... We really need to appreciate the effort and contribution of people from that past that make us live so much easier in present days

this dude is best guide you could ever have, you can see the way he talks he visuals it in his head and roleplays it
Honestly the best video tour I’ve ever seen the mixture of passion and broken English makes it extremely entertaining

Nice craftsmanship!
47:44 the passion with how he closes that door.
At primary school we had to do a whole project on the Batavia because I grew up in Perth. We also went to the museum in Fremantle and saw part of the wreck. I didn’t realise the Dutch honoured the ship so much, I always just figured it was just another Dutch trading ship.
60 minute Harald video
A surprise but a welcomed one
As a lover of History this is especially great
I remember going to this ship once every couple of years when i was a kid, either with school or my family! I did not plan to watch the whole video but i could not stop, it was a step into memory lane and i could almost smell the old wooden ship as i rememberd! Thanks man
Me and my daughter visited the ship yesterday ( and it is still in docked ) and it's really an fantastic experiance to walk ( kicking my head ) and crawl trough the ship. We also at one point got a very enthusiastic volunteer telling us so many nice things about the ship. In all smells and colours, as the Dutch say.
I loved this tour video very much, it really catches the fun we had visiting this ship. :)
How fantastic is Fred? We need more people as passionate and knowledgeable as him!
The stern of the real Batavia is in my hometown on Perth, Western Australia, it was wrecked on the Abrolhos Islands in 1629 and what followed was a brutal mutiny and massacres. Its a crazy story if you read deeper it was a disturbing account of survival and murder. The museum has a skeleton from the islands and it has a huge crack in its skull from a heavy blow....creepy...
I can confirm this.
Where abouts is it?
@@tropicaljuice I think it's in Fremantle
Had visit the museum in Fremantle
The replica of the Duyfken is in Fremantle as well right?
The most fascinating story connected with the Batavia, was its sinking and the subsequent story of its survivors.
Beautiful beautiful, thanks for the tour, appreciated and enjoyed.
47:09 till 48:00 had me dying of laughter. Two crazy dudes laughing about toilets in the 1600 lmfao. Also the way Fred shuts the door hahaha
Incredible upload indeed. Travelling through the history...So many never discussed areas about great sailing ventures are now unveiled in the video...Simply amazing...The best historical journey indeed...Thanks a lot Harald!!!
I find Fritz a bit eccentric but extremely knowledgeable, he was amazing with his explanation.
My favourite video from harald! I love how explicit and real your videos are, that show all the details and scenes.
Thanks for sharing Fritz! This was an unforgettable piece of learning.

Loved this. Learned so much. I have been fascinated by sailing ships like this since I was a boy. I had no idea this ship existed. Bravo to the people who keep this alive. I also enjoyed your tour in Anthens of the ancient replica of Greek war ship. Maybe you could do more of these.
Perhaps you and Bald could go to England and tour Sir Francis Drake's vessel, the Golden Hind, and the Royal naval museum in Portsmouth.
There they have Nelson's ship HMS Victory, Warrier etc.
Then maybe a Viking ship.

what a cool guide. I love having enthusiastic tour guides. they usually have way more information than wiki ever does.
I remember when they started building it (the replica) in Lelystad. Every now and then on a boring sunday we would go take a look. The site was about 30 miles from where i lived.
It is always so much more interesting when your guide has so much passion about his knowledge. Fritz is one of those guides.
Wow such an amazing video, Harald. Just a pity Fred seemed to be in a bit of a hurry... What an absolute legend of a encyclopaedia!
He had a lot to cover that's why. He showed me around for over 2 hours 👍
He must do this as a job and explain all of this time and time again. That is a lot of work to show and explain all of that for one person. He is probably unaware how many people are going to watch this video and how popular Harald is.
I think he was just so Eager and Energetic!!!
53:34 He did help this "yes" coming from the bottom to get out with that knee flexion. The purest "yes" I have ever heard.
Brilliant podcast..really enjoyed that😉
This is the best video i've ever watched Harald, i got tons of knowledge about history of the british colonel sailing. This man definitely should be an encyclopedia. Love you and your videos much...😍😍😍
One of the finest videos ever. It attracts my attention not only because of the way Fritz explained things on and on just nicely, but also because this has got a close connection with Sri Lanka's history where we were under Dutch influence for over a century. it almost revised my memory and painted a clear yet horrific picture in mind what was it really like during colonialism either on maritime aspect or terrestrial aspect. It was a thrilling experience that kept me watching this until the last second. 👍
Loving the Passion of 'HISTORICAL' beauty... I never thought History was something I should follow until watching you Harold. You are my teacher with hands on teaching.. Thank you for your researching and friendly nature..
