Full title: Voyage to Disaster: The Life of Francisco Pelsaert: Covering His Indian Report to the Dutch East India Company and the Wreck of the Ship Batavia in 1629 off the Coast of Western Australia, Together With the Full Text of His Journals Concerning the Rescue Voyages, the Mutiny on the Abrolhos Islands and the Subsequent Trials of the Mutineers.

Translated by E D Drok.

One of the most fascinating maritime history documents is the complete journal of Franscisco Pelsaert. In a revealing biography that introduces the journals, Pelsaert is shown to be a man of many parts - writer, historian, and administrator. His life story ranges from Holland to India, from Australia to Java.

It was Henrietta Drake-Brockman's research that led to the discovery of the wreck of the Batavia itself in 1963, and the reasoning that led to its finding is included as a fascinating appendix. (book flap)
