Danish Royal Yacht Dannebrog

Danish Royal Yacht Dannebrog

Post card franked 8.30 pm August 31 1906 at Matlock Bridge. From a series by E.F.A.
No details of the vessel on the card, so will have to leave it to the wise owls of SN, & is she still afloat somewhere?

Built by Burmeister & Wain and launched 1879. Of iron, 890t, 192ft. One set of oscillating compound engines and two boilers, 1050 ihp, 260 nom., max speed 12,2 knots. Two 37mm guns placed on the bridge. One steam-boat (barkasse) and five equipped for rowing.
My source is "Flaadens Skibe" (Ships of the navy) Copenhagen 1906. Three pages of specifications hard to translate. What eventually became of her I don't know. For those of us who read Danish here's some more:
