Viking1808 joined Wikipedia in September 2010.

Interests centre around Danish Waters [The Great Belt and Kattegat] in 1808 and adjacent years - see the page for HMS Falcon (1802)

I am happy to read anything in Danish, if that helps fellow editors

Lists of Danish ships

edit

For other ships (e.g. British built ships captured by the Danes) go to Royal Danish Naval Museum, do NOT choose English language version (which is still under construction), choose DATABASE then AVANCEREDE and select Nationality and enter the year plus/minus (say) 10 years. Beware that the Danish spelling of a ship's name may be slightly different from the English or Anglified version. e.g Friderickssteen instead of Frederickssteen.
