For years was in the Netherlands a magazine published dealing with maritime affairs. It contained notes dealing with the Royal Dutch Navy and the Dutch merchant shipping/trade, but also supplied information dealing with foreign navies, especially of France and Great Britain. Occasionally we can find information dealing with the navies of other countries Russia, United States or even Mexico. The spelling of the names is in Dutch!
According to a note in this magazine the Danish navy consisted of 4 ships of the line, namely the Skjold, Frederik VI and the Vladimir, each of 84 guns, built 1828, 1831 and 1833 and the 74 guns Dannebrog.
