Norwegian Gunship
From Warlike
Q7061126
The Norwegian Gunships were a class of ten schooners that served first in the Royal Dano-Norwegian Navy, and then after 1814 in the Royal Norwegian Navy. The first was launched in 1808 and the last was lost in 1872. Following the near total loss of the Dano-Norwegian navy at the Battle of Copenhagen in September 1807, the ensuing Gunboat War was fought primarily in the relatively confined seas around Denmark. The Danes built their naval strategy on small gunboats that rarely ventured very far from their sheltered harbours.
