It is not stated in Disney's Peter Pan about how Captain Hook lost his hand. However, in earlier books about J.M. Barrie's Peter Pan, it is stated how. It happened when Peter Pan first visited Neverland and Captain Hook and his pirates confronted him. It was Peter's first time sword fighting and he didn't know quite how to do it. However, he saw that Captain Hook held an arm out for balance as he fought. So Peter flew and cut off his hand as a way to defeat him without sword fighting.

Captain Hook's right hand was cut off in the original work by JM Barrie. In film and stage adaptations, it is sometimes switched to the left.
