It was launched on 20 January 1860. ‘Jylland’ was also the first steam-powered, screwdriven ship and at an engine out-put of 400 hp was able to reach the then impressive speed of 12 knots. A noteworthy feature that should be mentioned is that the screw could be raised up into a ‘screw- well’ so that it did not slow the ship down under sail. On 9th May 1864 ‘Jylland’ fought in the Battle of Heligoland against a fleet of Austrian and Prussian ships. King Christian IX used the ship on various visits to Iceland and Russia. The 2450-ton ‘Jylland’ had a hull length of 71m (96m overall) and a beam of 13,5m. The ship had a crew of between 405 and 437 men, depending on the ship´s duties, and carried 44 muzzle-loaded cannons. In 1960 ‘Jylland’ was towed by tugs from the naval base in Copenhagen to Ebeltoft. On 11 August 1984 it made its last voyage - into a new exhibition dock. After several years of restoration work, Frigate ‘Jylland’ was opened to the public. For those with an interest in ships and life at sea, this 130-year-old ship is certainly worth visiting or building.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlank on Frame Construction \u003cbr\u003eScale: 1:100\u003cbr\u003eLength: 101cm \u003cbr\u003eWidth: 13cm \u003cbr\u003eHeight: 63cm\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Billing Boats","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57015580229976,"sku":"B5003","price":279.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0978\/1208\/7128\/files\/B5003_ac70d5d1-5971-4c65-8824-565d27e18af8.jpg?v=1775054439","url":"https:\/\/www.sjhmodelboats.co.uk\/products\/billing-boats-jylland-ltd-edition-b5003-html","provider":"SJH Model Boats","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
