16' 10" draft and 850 gallons of fuel
You would need a floating fuel tank or two to come out and fill you up. Couldn't get to the fuel dock.

I thought the Batavia was the wooden ship at the Maritime museusm in Sydney? I just looked at the Maritime museum's site and it's not listed on there.
When I was in Sydney back in 2000 for the olympics I went aboard her. I can't remember which deck it was, but one was only about 4 feet high.
I spent 7 weeks in Sydney (first 3 weeks I stayed in a motel on Bondi. Then spent 4 weeks at Joey's with the Olympic Youth Camp) and I think I went to every museum, park, beach, and aquarium in the area. I was walking at least 10 miles a day.
When I was little we lived in St. Pete Beach, FL and the HMS Bounty was docked over in Pasedina. We went on a couple of times. It was a wax museum at the time, pretty cool.
