Król Dawid

Król Dawid (King David in English) was a galleon of the Polish Navy. It fought during the Battle of Oliwa. It was launched in 1623 in Gdańsk and initially served as a merchant ship under a German name of König David. During the Polish wars with Sweden, it was drafted into the Polish navy along with Wodnik and Arka Noego. They fought in the Battle of Hel on May 17, 1627. After a short artillery duel the skirmish was over. The following day the escadrille met a convoy of 24 Swedish vessels off the coast of Biała Góra, near Łeba. After a short artillery barrage, the Polish ships managed to evade the enemy and headed for Kołobrzeg. Several days afterwards the escadre managed to break through the Swedish blockade and returned to Wisłoujście, one of two main bases of the Polish Navy.
