Further Reading
The wreck of the Batavia by Simon Leys, is a good book because it gave a different point of view on the ship wreck in the victims view.

My article that I found is by Beasley, A. W. (2002). The First Amputation in Australia. Seventeenth Century, 17(1), 70. This Academic Journal shows another side to the shipwreck it shows it in a aftermath of what happened. Nickgutierrez71 (talk) 18:16, 10 February 2012 (UTC)Nickgutierrez71 — Preceding

An article has come out in The Monthly about this event. It can be used in the places for some 'Citation Needed' notes. The article disputes that Jacobsz was acting in concert with Cornelisz.

Commentary
I've removed the bracketed commentary from the article text:
After leaving
Cape Town, where they had stopped for supplies (Cape Town was founded on 6th April, 1652 so it seems improbable that this happened), Jacobsz deliberately steered the ship off course, away from the rest of the fleet.
What variety of English is in use in this article? Being significant in Western Australia I was expecting to see Australian English. I also see sp=us in some converts.

MOS:ENGVAR, this does not look like "strong national ties" enough. The variant is then decided by the first telling usage in edit history. Could be en-US then, by what you wrote. -

@
DePiep: So there are three candidate nations: Netherlands, Australia, United States. Reasons for strong national ties to Australia include:
Dutch ship wrecked in what is today Australian territory.
One of first European ships to visit Australia.
One of first European ships to wreck on Western Australian coast.
Led to first European judicial trial in Australia.
Led to first execution of Europeans by Europeans in Australia.
Led to first European immigration (albeit involuntary) into Australia.
Under the
ANCODS Agreement, Australia is responsible for looking “after all the artefacts recovered from the wrecks, including their recovery, conservation, storage and display.”
