The fleut DERFFLINGER belonged to the fleet of the Electorate of Brandenburg at the end of the 17th century.

At that time, she carried rum and others to Africa to trade in slaves, who were traded in the West Indies for sugar, which was then brought to Europe, and later used in the War of the Spanish Succession.

The ship was a fleut, a sailboat type widely developed at that time by the Dutch. The ship was named after the cavalry general Georg von Derfflinger, who won in 1675 at the Battle of Fehrbellin for the Elector of Brandenburg a victory against the Swedes.

He is shown on the transom of the ship. The background was blue and the whole picture was surrounded by deep red cloth and fringed with gold. The flag at the stern shows the Kurbrandenburg red eagle with hat, scepter, sword and breast shield.

Prior to 1684, ‘Derfflinger’ was named ‘Wolkensaule’. It was purchased in Danzica in January 1681 by Benjamin Raule and was used during the war against Spain declared by Prince William Frederick. It was 110 feet long and 23 feet wide; it was armed with 3 – 16 cannons and crewed by about twenty men. From 1686 – 1693 the fluyt sailed the Western Africa and India routes.

The ‘Friedrich Wilhelm Zu Pferde’ (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kb4fEzcMTYw) had been its escort as well as the ‘Hoffnung’ during the trips up the Western Africa coast and up to the Shetland Islands.
