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.
