Beata Możejko charts the fluctuating and often dramatic fortunes of the caravel, from her arrival in Gdańsk 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 Gdańsk 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, Możejko provides a comprehensive overview and analysis of the information available about the caravel and her colourful career.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface and Acknowledgments  List of Maps, Illustrations and Tables  List of Abbreviationsxi  Introduction   1Subject Matter and Current State of Research   2Caravel or Carrack?   3Further Reading   4Sources   1Pierre de la Rochelle – the Fortunes of the Ship and Her Crew in Gdańsk   2The Caravel Peter von Danzig under the Command of Berndt Pawest   3Under the Command of Paul Beneke   1In Hamburg: New Owners   2Galleys   3The Raid   4Initial Repercussions   5The Final Act  Epilogue  Conclusion  Bibliography   Archival Sources   Printed Sources   Secondary Works   Index Modern Author","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53210742456663,"sku":"9789004358102","price":144.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/peter-von-danzig-the-story-of-a-great-caravel-1462-1475-9789004358102","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
