4.23. Unarchiving a Geocache

The archiving of a geocache is intended to be a permanent status. That is why only community volunteer reviewers and Geocaching HQ staff have the capability to unarchive it. This is done only in rare circumstances and only if it meets the current Geocache Listing Guidelines.

If a geocache is archived by a reviewer or staff for lack of maintenance it will not be unarchived.

Geocache Description:


Five days after the wreck of the Batavia Abrolhos Islands in 1629,   Commander Francisco Pelsaert and skipper Ariaen Jacobsz with forty-six others left in the ship's longboat to search for water,  ending up in Batavia ( Java, Indonesia )  and not returning for three and a half months.           In their absence,  VOC's under merchant Jeronimous Cornelisz assumed control of the 200 survivors marooned on Beacon Island and he and his   accomplices embarked on a reign of terror and murder.    Cornelisz isolated soldier Wiebbe Hayes and some twenty others on East Wallabi Island,  expecting they would die,  but they crossed to West Wallabi Island where they found water and food.    escapees from bloodshed on Beacon Island alerted Hayes,  and he organized the defence of his companions, repelling attacks from Cornelisz and eventually capturing him.                        When Pelsaert returned,  Hayes raced ahead of the remaining mutineers to warn him of their plans to overwhelm the rescue ship.                                 Wiebbe Hayes' actions undoubtedly savedmany lives and saw Cornelisz and his conspirators brought to justice.
