Krakatoa east of Java (wrong-it is actually west of Java, but thats another story!)

Does anyone know the name of the 3 island tramp steamer that featured? Any other details of it?

Thanks Neil. I knew it was the batavia Queen in the movie I just wanted to  know the real name of the tub. Surprisingly after seeing those stills it wasn't a 3 island boat at all. I watched it again over the xmas holidays it was on one of the satellite channels and perked my interest.
