Antique print titled 'Ein Prospect der Insul Onrust oder Unruhe 2 Meilen von Batavia gelegen.' (View of the island ' Onrust' near Batavia.) Onrust Island also known as Pulau Onrust or Pulau Kapal (ship island) is an Indonesian island off the coast of Jakarta. It measures about 3.5 km2 (1.4 sq mi) and is part of the Thousand Islands. The town on the island had houses and warehouses, but it also had a gunpowder magazine, a storage for water transported from Batavia, general warehouses, and a lot of warehouses specifically meant to store pepper. Specific to the shipyard were the reservoirs for trees. Sawing windmills processed these trees to make planks for the shipyards. There was also a smithy that served the shipyard. Near the waterfront there were special installations to easily pull ships on their side. Sometimes ships for local use were built at the island. The VOC employees were only allowed to leave the island two times a year. In 1911 Onrust Island was turned into a quarantine station for pilgrims returning from the Hajj. The island had the advantage of being completely isolated. Furthermore, it was so small that it was possible to make it malaria free by the only method known at the time. This was done by filling up all the small ponds and other fresh water instances on the island and by removing most vegetation. Later a sanatorium for lung diseases was established on the island, because of the very much improved health situation. From 1933 it was used to lock up the mutineers of the 1933 mutiny on the HNLMS De Zeven Provinciën (1909). In 1940 German nationals were interned on Onrust. In May 1940 the Netherlands were attacked by Germany. In the Dutch East Indies thousands of Germans, Hungarians, Czechs, Italians, Dutchmen with a German family name, and members of the National Socialist Movement in the Netherlands were arrested and locked up at Onrust and in Ngawai. After war with Japan broke out on 8 December 1941 a small part of these prisoners was evacuated to Suriname. The Japanese also used Onrust as a prison. On 23 January 1950 Raymond Westerling attempted the APRA coup d'état. It failed, and most of the APRA military were seized by the Dutch troops that were still on Java. The Dutch military...
