Fregatten Jylland

The Danish frigate Fregatten-Jylland is known as the oldest wooden ship in the world and attracts many tourists. The destroyer was built in 1860 and is now a museum. Due to the deep excavation of the ground, one can see the bottom of the battleship, as well as the huge propeller, which is 4.71 meters in diameter and weighs 10.5 tons. Repair work on the destroyer was completed in 1994, and it is now placed for public exhibition in the Danish town of Ebeltoft. Here you can learn about the history of the Danish Navy and experience the life of sailors in those days.
