The 2450-ton frigate 'Jylland' was built at the Royal Danish Naval Dockyard in Copenhagen and launched in 1860. It was the last large war vessel of the Danish Navy to be built of oak entirely. The 'Jylland' had an engine as well as sails. The sails spread was 17,100 square feet (1881 m2) and the height from the waterline to the top of the main mast was 55 m. The hull is 71 m long and has a draught of 6 m. The ornament consisted of 44 heavy muzzle-loaded guns. With the screw lowered into the water and the funnel in topmost position, it was possible to use the steam engine. With its 400 nominal HP it was the first steam engine for a large ship to be built in Denmark. The ship`s complement consisted of 430 men who ate and slept on the gun deck and the orlop. Each member of the crew had his own hammock, hanging side by side from the deckbeams. There was no heating system on board the ship. There were a few small, dark officers` cabins on the lower deck of the vessel. The 'Jylland' made numerous cruises in the Danish West Indies, the Mediterranean, the North Atlantic and the Baltic. In 1864 she took part in the battle of Helgoland against the united Austrian-Prussian squadron. In 1960 the 'Jylland' was tugged from the Naval Dockyard in Copenhagen to Ebeltoft and on August 11th in 1984 she made her last journey on her own keel to the new exhibition dock. Today it has been fully restored with full rigging.
