Willemoes was born on May 11, 1783 in Assens. At the age of twelve he was sent to the Naval Academy in Copenhagen. He became a lieutenant in 1800.

At the age of seventeen he commanded "Flaadebatteri No. 1" during the Battle of Copenhagen on April 2, 1801.

After the bombing of Copenhagen, Peter Willemoes was enrolled on Prinds Christian Frederik, the only remaining Danish ship of the line. On March 22, 1808, the ship was driven to the sandbank by a British at the Battle of Sjællands Odde. Willemoes was among the 69 Danish victims who were hit by a bullet in the head.
