The Danish Royal yacht Dannebrog in Öresund
The Danish Royal yacht Dannebrog was early this morning in Öresund on her way to Copenhagen, without royal passengers.
"The Dannebrog, named after the flag of Denmark, was built in 1931–1932 at the Naval Dockyard in Copenhagen. She replaced the previous royal vessel, an 1879 paddle steamer, also called Dannebrog. The yacht has dual functions: she serves as the Royal Yacht during peacetime and can become a hospital ship during emergency alerts or war.
The ship's hull is of rivetted steel construction on transverse frames. The ship has a clipper bow and an elliptical ('counter') stern. Viewed from the side, the ship may be divided into two sections. Forward of the funnel there is space for the crew, any cargo, and the engine. At the rear is the Royal Apartment, which could accommodate patients if ever the yacht were needed as a hospital ship. During visits to Danish and foreign ports the covered quarterdeck is used for receptions."
