Java Ho!: The Adventures of Three Boys Amid Fire, Storm and Shipwreck (Dutch: De Scheepsjongens van Bontekoe, lit. 'The Shipboys of Bontekoe') is a juvenile fiction novel by Dutch author Johan Fabricius, first published in 1924.
The book was the basis for a movie of the same name released in 2007. The events in the book are loosely based on the journal (first published in 1646) of Dutch captain Willem Bontekoe (1587–1657) and concern three young boys, Hajo, Ralf, and Padde, who have sailed to the Dutch East Indies aboard the Nieuw Hoorn. Due to an accident caused by Padde the ship is wrecked, leaving the boys to fend for themselves in the East.[1]
