Introduction

The frigate Jylland is the world's largest surviving wooden warship, launched in 1860 and veteran of the 1864 Second Schleswig War, now moored at Ebeltoft as a living museum. Visitors board the gun deck, officers' cabins and rigging to feel 19th-century naval life where steam met sail. A restoration workshop beside it still maintains the hull by traditional methods. A physical specimen of Denmark's seafaring memory, it is a treasure for families and history lovers.
