A fragment of the Batavia wreck recovered off the coast of Western Australia.  It was a Dutch ship en route to Jakarta (Batavia) with passengers, coins and a sandstone portico for the palace in Jakarta.  Much of this has been recovered and can be seen in the Maritime Museum in Freemantle.  The story of the Batavia is one of 'angry ghosts' as the shipwreck led to the abandoning of the passengers on a waterless island as the officers returned to the netherlands.  A mutiny amongst them led to a massacre of many and the subsequent punishment in the Netherlands of the rescued murderers. The waters of Western Australia were used for the spice trade.  There's something bablyonian in the whole enterprise and the idea of bringing a major architectural element on boat all the way from Europe to Jakarta.
