"Morten Johansen, the museum's head of maritime archaeology, stated that the Battle of Copenhagen and the Dannebroge are 'a big part of the Danish national feeling.' He emphasized the importance of understanding the experiences of those on board during the battle."
"Divers discovered two cannons, navy insignia, sailors' uniforms, and even part of a human jaw, likely belonging to one of the 19 unaccounted-for crew members who lost their lives during the battle."
The wreck of the Danish warship Dannebroge has been found in Copenhagen Harbor, where it sank over 200 years ago during a battle with the British Royal Navy. The discovery coincides with the 225th anniversary of the Battle of Copenhagen. Marine archaeologists uncovered the wreck while surveying for a new housing district. Artifacts such as cannons, navy insignia, and personal items were found, providing insights into the experiences of the crew during the battle.
