| THE GREAT YACHT 1678
The Great Yacht which is also called New Yacht or Gold Yacht was built by G. Peckelhering in 1678 - 1679 in Kolberg per sample of sea yacht of prince William III.
The length of Great Yacht was 70 feet (according to another source - 72 feet). The width was 21 feet and the draft - 5 feet. The Yacht had eight cannon ports. The crew consisted of 12 persons; during wartime it increased to 50 persons.
The Yacht was a good sailboat. Since 1680 it was based in Pillau, in 1693 it navigated to Amsterdam, in 1694 it made a voyage from Emden to London conveying the Branderburg ambassador T. von Dankelmann.
At the end of the 1690s and up to 1700 it was in Berlin, then again in Emden till in 1721 it became worthless.
The calculation and project of Dutch yacht made by J. Storck in seventeenth century served for reconstruction of this yacht.
We can judge about the form and coloration of the yacht by the famous picture of Dutch artist L. Verschuier which depicts the Elector fleet.
