===Indonesia=== <!-- [To be edited down] --> The Dutch colonists in Batavia built at least four wind-powered sawmills around the [[Bay of Batavia]], many years after founding [[Batavia, Dutch East Indies|Batavia]] (now [[Jakarta]]) in 1619, but these were not entirely successful. People and animals (water buffalo) powered mills also and previously (introduced by the Chinese). Out of about 25 Dutch-designed mills in the area, their water-powered mills were the most successful. Specifically, around 1675 a first wind-powered sawmill was built on the island of [[De Kuyper]] (now [[Pulu Burung]]) to support the [[Onrust Island]] ([[Pulu Kapal]]) dockyard that repaired [[Dutch East India Company]] ships. By 1685 there were two built in Onrust and around 1705 another was built on the island of Edam ([[Pulu Damar]].<ref name=Boomgaard>{{cite journal|url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/07341510701616915 |title=Technologies of a trading empire: Dutch introduction of water- and windmills in early-modern Asia, 1650sβ1800 |author=Peter Boomgaard |journal=History and Technology|volume=24 |date=2008 |issue=1 |pages=41β59|doi=10.1080/07341510701616915 |s2cid=83903098 }}</ref> [[File:COLLECTIE TROPENMUSEUM Het eiland Onrust TMnr 3728-539.jpg|left|thumb|Engraving of Onrust (c.1765)]] <!-- [Also or instead insert historic image, not yet uploaded to Commons, described by boomgaard as: "Figure 1 Two windmills were constructed by the VOC shortly after 1685 on the tiny island of Onrust, now called Pulu Kapal; both were sawmills working for the dockyard on the island.
