This article is about the ship. For the 15th-century German fencing master, see Cod. 44 A 8.
Peter von Danzig was a 15th-century ship of the Hanseatic League. The three-masted ship was the first large vessel in the Baltic Sea with carvel planking.
Peter von Danzig was built on the French west coast, and originally named Pierre de la Rochelle or Peter van Rosseel. The ship arrived in Danzig in 1462, carrying sea salt from the Atlantic. While anchored at roadstead, she was damaged by lightning.
The ship lay for a while in Danzig harbour, waiting to be repaired, but was then converted to a warship in 1469 after the Hanseatic league had declared war on England.
Between August 1471 and 1473, Peter von Danzig operated in the North Sea under captain Paul Beneke, hunting English merchantmen with a letter of marque and securing Hanseatic league convoys. After the Treaty of Utrecht (1474), the ship undertook several trade trips abroad, before she appears to have been decommissioned in the late 1470s.[2]
