Peeter All
Peeter All (1829–1898) was a fisherman, farmer, ship captain, shipowner, rescuer of mariners in distress and a salvage diver who became one of the wealthiest Estonians of his time.
== Early years ==
Peter's parents, Ado and Marie, were peasants who lived on Saaremaa's Loona Manor. Saaremaa (known as Oesel in German), is Estonia's largest island (2,673 km2) and has numerous small, rocky, low lying islands off its western coast. The largest of these is called Vilsandi. When Peter was a year old, Baron Hoyningen-Huene sent the family to live on Loonalaid, a small (1 km2.) uninhabited Baltic Sea island, so his father could look after the hay grown there that provided feed for the manor's livestock.〔Manors were landholdings owned by noble families since the Middle Ages. The medieval Loona Manor (called Kadvel in German) has undergone many changes and today houses the information centre for Vilsandi National Park. See (1) http://www.loonamanor.ee/history, (2) http://mois.ee/english/saare/loona.shtml, (3) http://www.baltische-ritterschaften-en.de/corporations/oesel/, and (4) http://www.visitestonia.com/en/vilsandi-national-park.〕 The family survived primarily from fishing and farming. Peter grew up to be a large man (210 cm tall) and left home by 20 years of age to become a seaman. During the Crimean War (1853–1856) Peter tried to run the Baltic Sea blockade with a cargo of salt from Sweden and his ship was seized.〔See article titled The Development of Estonian Maritime Shipping on pages 1-8 of the Baltic Military History Newsletter May 2014 http://www.baltdefcol.org/files/files/BalticMilitaryHistory/Newsletter_2014-05.pdf〕 He was arrested by the British, his ship was burnt and he was jailed for 3 years.
