History:
The Fregatten “Jylland” or frigate “Jylland” is a unique ship, being the longest wooden ship in the world today. Also it is the Royal Danish Navy’s last big warship built from wood, and having a traditional sailing ship rigging as well as a steam engine, it is a perfect representative for the transition from sail to steam power. It took part in the battle of Helgoland in 1864, which was the first naval battle in history where two fleets engaged each other without the use of sails, but only used their steam engines during the entire battle. The ship is now beautifully restored and on permanent display at the picturesque small town of Ebeltoft situated on the peninsula of Jylland, which also gave name to the ship when she was launched from the Naval Yard in Copenhagen in 1860. Today the ship is a major tourist attraction and well worth a visit.
