About This Book

The narrative examines Danish naval affairs during 1808–1809 following the 1807 British seizure of the fleet, outlining the loss of ships and supplies, the struggle to rebuild seagoing forces, and ensuing diplomatic and military dealings with French and Russian authorities. It traces French requests for Danish officers and seamen to serve on vessels in the Scheldt region, related operational intentions for North Sea and Baltic operations, and how blockades, limited shipbuilding capacity, and shifting alliances shaped choices and outcomes. The account draws on official archival documents and contemporary correspondence to reconstruct the episode.
