Peter Wessel Tordenskiold

Peter Wessel Tordenskiold (1690–1720) was a Norwegian naval officer in the Royal Dano-Norwegian fleet, born in Trondheim. He ran away to Copenhagen in 1704 and became a naval second lieutenant in 1711. During the Great Northern War he won fame attacking Swedish ships against the odds, and in 1712 helped destroy Swedish transports near Rügen. In 1716 Frederick IV ennobled him as Tordenskiold, meaning Thunder Shield, and at Dynekilen he destroyed nearly the entire Swedish transport fleet, forcing Charles XII's army out of Norway.

Promoted vice-admiral, he then took Marstrand and Carlsten fortress. He was killed in a duel near Hanover in November 1720.
