Acknowledgments

The writing of
Batavia’s Graveyard
involved considerable research
and would never have been possible without the help—freely offered and gratefully
received—of a large number of people.

I owe particular thanks to my research assistant, drs Henk Looijesteijn of
Amsterdam, who carried out extensive original research on my behalf in archives the length
and breadth of the Netherlands, and whose discoveries have added immeasurably to our
knowledge of the
Batavia
and her passengers and crew.

I have also been fortunate enough to receive valuable assistance from many
other sources. In Australia, drs Marit van Huystee and drs Juliïtte Pasveer of the
Western Australian Maritime Museum, Fremantle, generously shared the results of their
recent archaeological work on Beacon Island; Marit was also kind enough to read and
comment on the manuscript. Ed Punchard of Prospero Productions told me a good deal about
conditions in the Abrolhos Islands. Dr. Alanah Buck and Dr. Stephen Knott of the Western
Australian Centre for Pathology and Medical Research in Perth explained what the skeletons
of Cornelisz’s victims, dug up on the island, can tell us about the
Batavia
mutineers and their bloody methods; and Max Cramer and the staff of Abrolhos Helicopters
in Geraldton helped during my flying visit to the site of the tragedy.

In the Netherlands, Professor Femme Gaastra of the University of Leiden
described his research into the possible survival of shipwrecked Dutch mariners in the
Australian interior, and Dr. F. W. M. de Rooij of Erasmus University, Rotterdam discussed
the implications of the existence of porphyria in Australia and the possibility that
shipwrecked Dutchmen might have been integrated into aboriginal society. Paul van Dam of
the Gemeente Archief, Haarlem, was especially helpful during research in Cornelisz’s
old stamping ground.

My agent, Patrick Walsh, had enormous belief in this book from the start and
was a great support during the final stages of writing. My remarkable editor, Rachel
Kahan, shared Patrick’s faith in the project and was a valued source of inspiration
and advice.

As for Penny and Ffion, who had to see things through to the very end, what can
I say but thank you, and I hope that it was worth it.
