This study traces the chequered history of Peter von Danzig, a
French caravel which was inadvertently taken over by Gdansk
(Danzig). Beata Mozejko charts the fluctuating and often dramatic
fortunes of the caravel, from her arrival in Gdansk as a
merchantman in 1462 to her demise near La Rochelle in 1475. The
author examines the caravel's role as a warship during the
Anglo-Hanseatic conflict, and her most famous operation, when she
was used by Gdansk privateer Paul Beneke to capture a Burgundian
galley with a rich cargo that included Hans Memling's Last
Judgement triptych. Using literary and archival sources, Mozejko
provides a comprehensive overview and analysis of the information
available about the caravel and her colourful career.
