| Sumario: | This study traces the chequered history of Peter von Danzig, a French caravel which was inadvertently taken over by GdanÅÅsk (Danzig). Beata MozÅējko charts the fluctuating and often dramatic fortunes of the caravel, from her arrival in GdanÅÅsk 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 GdanÅÅsk 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, MozÅējko provides a comprehensive overview and analysis of the information available about the caravel and her colourful career. |
