Danish Archaeologists Discover Long-Lost Warship Dannebroge from Napoleonic Wars
Danish archaeologists have uncovered the remains of the Dannebroge, a warship destroyed during the Battle of Copenhagen in 1801. The discovery was made by the Viking Ship Museum in Roskilde, Denmark, and announced on the 225th anniversary of the battle. The Dannebroge, part of the Danish-Norwegian forces, was heavily damaged and exploded during an attack by British forces led by Vice Admiral Horatio Nelson. The ship's remnants were found ahead of the Lynetteholm project construction, which necessitated the archaeological excavation. The battle resulted in the deaths of approximately 700 people, including 56 men aboard the Dannebroge, with 19 more missing. The excavation has revealed various artifacts, including personal belongings and human remains, providing a glimpse into the historical event.
