Duc de Dantzig (1808 ship)
Duc de Dantzig (or Duc-de-Dantzick) was a brig launched in 1808 at Nantes that became a privateer. She captured a number of vessels, generally plundering them and then letting them go, or burning them. She disappeared mysteriously in the Caribbean in early 1812, and became the subject of a ghost ship legend.
