The Dannebroge, a significant vessel in Danish naval history, was destroyed during a battle led by Admiral Nelson. Its wreck is now the focus of urgent excavation efforts.

Archaeologists are racing against time to recover artifacts and data from the site before construction begins for a new housing project.
