Location

It was near an old VOC ship called Batavia. The actual location was in the lake so we could see it but not reach it.

Participants

CO2 and some friends that don't really care about this wiki.

Fun facts

There were two huge ships, one was still being made and one was already done. The one which was done was the coolest: you could see the cannons, the different parts of the ship and on top we made a picture of the three of us (not uploaded). The ship which wasn't finished was also pretty cool, you could definitely see it would become a new huge ship.

In the shipyard you could see smiths (or something like that) and you could throw a rope around a pole. Just like you would throw a rope to anchor your ship in the harbour. It was a really heavy rope and not very easy to throw around the pole. But we tried a few times.

In another building you could see the making of a new figurehead. Really awesome.
