Paul Andreas Kaald (12 June 1784 – 24 June 1867) was a Norwegian seafarer. He was chartered as a Norwegian privateer captain from Trondheim during the Gunboat War (1807–1814)— a naval conflict between Denmark–Norway and the British Navy which was part of the Napoleonic Wars.
Kaald went to sea when he was fourteen years old and passed the examination for first mate in 1803. His first journey as a privateer was in 1808; he captained the return of a captured ship to Norway. The captured vessel was refitted and renamed Den Flinke (The Talented) before being sent on a second journey; the voyage was truncated when the ship was retaken by Scotland. Kaptein Kaald was imprisoned in Scotland for two years. Kaald was later sent back to Trondheim.[1]
Three years later he ventured forth on his third privateering expedition. His ship, Anna Bruun was one of the biggest Norwegian ships. This journey made Kaald a rich man. When the war ended, Kaald bought the schooner Isabella. He was the owner of the ship until its disappearance in 1834. He moved to rural Hitra in 1835 and settled on the Grindvik farm where he lived until his death in 1867.[1]
The Trondheim street 'Kaptein Kaalds vei' was named in memory of Paul Andreas Kaald. It is in the Ladehammeren district, is not very long and goes in a loop.[2]
