225 years after it was sunk by Admiral Horatio Nelson and the British fleet, marine archaeologists have discovered a Danish warship at the bottom of Copenhagen harbor. Divers are racing against time, with deep sedimentary deposits and no visibility at a depth of 15 meters underwater, to uncover the wreck of the 19th-century ship 'Dannebrog' before it turns into a construction site in a new residential area being built off the coast of Denmark. The Danish 'Viking Ship' museum, which has been leading the underwater search and excavation operations for months, announced its findings yesterday, 225 years after the Battle of Copenhagen in 1801. Head of the museum's maritime archaeology department, Morten Johansen, said: 'It forms part of the national identity in Denmark'.
