As we were staying in an apartment that directly overlooked the boat, it would have been hard not to have visited. You enter the site through a modern purpose built facility, and given a map to find you way around. The building tells the history of the boat from being built, its naval service, its use as a Royal ship, to its decommisioning and then restoration. It has a timeline around the building that is easy to follow, and is in several different languages so all visitors can follow. Very interesting to read comments from actual people who lived and worked on the boat, itgave you a real insight to life on board. Several interative exhibits that you could take part in as well. The only hard part was finding how to get to ship itself not well signposted, at one point we thought you couldn't go on the boat!So glad that we didn't miss that treat, it was amazing ! It has been restored to a high level and gong down all the floors you began to feel like a sailor. Each room is numbered and you have an easy to follow guide telling you about what the room was used for. Amazing to go through all the floors and individual rooms, right down into the engine room, and even underneath the boat itself in the dry dock. The only thing that would have been the icing on the cake would have been a chance to climb the rigging, but I guess H & S would put pay to that, although there was a small childrens climbing frame outside based on naval rigging. You can then walk aorund the boat yard to see where the restorers are working and walk along the embankment and look out to see. They also have a small gift shop selling boat and sailing related gifts. Great way to spend a few hours, There is a restaurant next door for food & refreshments although a little expensive. I am not into boats or sailing, although I love history and it was fasinating.
This resurrected mid-1800s wooden war ship is worth a visit. It is huge. The restored ship and museum provide a wonderful history lesson.
Fregatten Jylland (the frigate Jylland) is the world's largest remaining wooden ship, and is a beautiful and breathtaking experience. Well adapted to both children and adults, with the restored ship itself, the musem, the exhibitions and information on board, and the canon shows. A super glimpse of dramatic history!
This warship is one of the fine ships from the period of the Danish wars with England in 19th Century that fought against Sir Admiral Nelson. Although this specific one only participated in the Battle of Helgoland.
Had a short trip to Ebeltoft. The town itself was catered for more senior citizens. Had an excellent dinner at the restaurant of this museum. It was great value for money. Everyone spoke English and the views of the harbor were outstanding. A definate must do in Ebeltoft!
The ship is on shore but you feel at sea when visiting as the ship is located right at the waterfront in Ebeltoft Harbour. The interior and the outside is kept at original and genuine as possible and gives a good view of how a ship from that time worked and was used.
This is a good museum, but not very large. There is an indoor exhibition with facts about the ship. Very little multimedia, more old school posters etc. The ship itself is in excellent condition and you are allowed everywhere.
Fantastic old war ship and very well restored. Great for the kids, and the tour guides are excelent and the stories are very interesting.
This is a great Ship to visit. The Museum is excellent with good explanations in English. If you have been to the USS Constitution Ship in Boston, then you can relate to how wonderful it is to be allowed to climb around and explore all facets of this historical wonder. There is a "motion" room where you can feel just what it was like to be stuck in the bowels of the ship with the cannons blasting.
a must A great visit for all the family.a pity that the visit was only in Danish !but our daughter translated for us.Don't forget your camera !!
