Well worth a visit.

The wooden frigate ‘Jylland’ is one of the longest and most significant historic wooden ships in the world. Built in 1857-1860, it was both the first and last warship in the Danish navy with an originally inbuilt steam driven engine and sails – a cutting edge hybrid of its time, superior in speed with its long and slender hull. It survived 18 hits during the battle of Heligoland 1864 and worked as a royal ship, sailing King Christian IX to the Faroe Islands, Iceland and Saint Petersburg in 1874 and 1876. Since then, the old warship has functioned as lodging for soldiers and children of the rural districts of Denmark, as exhibition facilities of the National Exhibition of 1909 and others. Many times, it has faced the destruction of slow decay and being sold for scraps. Thanks to ardent people, skilled craftsmen and generous foundations, the proud ship survived and now resides in its dry dock in Ebeltoft. WELCOME ABOARD!

Worth a detour
If you have any trace of saltwater in your blood, or have children aged 8 -15 spend a few hours here. This is living history. The ship has been restored painstakingly, with private money as the government didn't think they had it, to original status. It is dry-docked and will never sail again. The shipboard feeling is 100% and except for the rigging which is new, most of the ship is original. The staff is very pleasant, and willing to give answers they probably gave a thousand times before. There is a restaurant 50 metres away, fair-priced for the venue, with a great look towards the ship.

Great experience!
Exciting and well worth the time and money! I went to visit the ship with my two kids aged 11 and 9. We all had a great time. It was a fun sort of mystery-hunt that the kids could do during our visit, by looking for clues on different places on the ship. We also participated in the making of ropes, and that was really cool and educational. All the staff were really friendly and the ship was impressive.
