The King of Denmark visiting the North-Sea Squadron on its return to Copenhagen, 1864. Engraving from a sketch by Mr. Simonsen, our Danish Artist. All classes of people in Denmark were naturally eager to show their appreciation of the services of the navy, which had held the sea during the whole winter, assisting the army, chasing and blockading the enemy, and concluding with a spirited naval combat - thus upholding the honour of Denmark, and her old historical renown for maritime prowess...the inhabitants of Copenhagen...mustered by thousands upon the ramparts of the citadel...The frigate Sjaeilland...and other ships of war, were seen at anchor; and shortly before noon the frigates Niels Juel; the Jylland, and the corvette Heimdal, steamed in a line past the Three-Crown Battery, and came to anchor, amidst enthusiastic cheers from the crews of the other ships and the crowds of spectators on shore. Almost immediately afterwards a royal salute was fired from the Sixtus Battery; the ships in the docks manned yards, and the royal barge was seen approaching from the Inner Port, rowing towards the fleet. It bore his Majesty the King, in Admirals uniform, with a numerous suite. The fleet immediately manned yards and commenced firing royal salutes. From "Illustrated London News", 1864.
