Who am I:
My name is Chris Jorgensen, I am now 70 years old and live in Lelystad, Holland. Since 1993 I am a guide on the Batavia-shipyard in Lelystad. Over the history of the East-Indian Company (VOC) and the Batavia, I ‘ve learned a lot on the yard. After all I did also my own investigations to the (still) missing parts in knowledge of the maritime history. On the Batavia-shipyard we can carry out that knowledge. But to share this knowledge, on a wider base with others, I ‘ve started this web-site. Hopefully it will enjoy many of the visitors of this site….
