Zeewijk was wrecked on 9 June , on the northern edge of Half Moon Reef in the Houtman Abrolhos islands, about 60km west of present-day Geraldton.
Marooned on the flat rocky island, its highest point less than 4m above sea level, the survivors sent a party of eleven of the best sailors under the command of First Officer Peter Langeweg in the longboat to Batavia, to call for help.
