Nearly finished the planking and it's a good thing that I will be painting this so timber fill will hide the many mistakes. 😲

The wreck of the Batavia on the Abrolhos Islands off the West Australian coast in 1629.

Easily found on Google.

Morning Reef broke the Batavia.

Yes. I am proud of that, even if unintentional. 😁

Btw, the book "Islands of Angry Ghosts" is a great read!!
