The Berlin ship was built in 1674 in Zealand as an order for Benjamin Raule, who was the organizer for the Brandenburg fleet for the Elector Friedrich Wilhelm von Brandenburg. The arsenal of this warship included 16 cannons and the number of crew members were usually between 70 and 100. She was commissioned to sail in the Mediterranean and the Baltic until 1681. Later, in 1688 she was captured by a Dutch fleet and was never seen again.
