A web article by Brian Lemin on the reconstructed Dutch East India Company ship Batavia, shown in Sydney's Darling Harbour in 2000. It summarizes the 1629 wreck off Western Australia and the subsequent mutiny and massacre, then focuses on the lace fragments and lace bobbins recovered from the wreck. Lemin discusses the bobbins shown on a 90-cent stamp, questions whether they were wood or pewter, and compares their styles to Flemish and Danish bobbins rather than the Italian lace attribution in the catalogue.
