On Saturday, April 25, history comes alive at Museum Batavialand. During Kanonnendag you will discover how 17th century cannons worked and what they were used for. Experience it for yourself: no fewer than twenty cannons on shore and on board the Batavia will give two impressive salutes.
The Batavia in action
For the first time since 2008, shooting will resume from the Batavia, the largest 17th-century reconstruction ship in the world. A special moment, as this is probably the last time you can see these demonstrations while the ship is still on the water.
