The Danish ironclad Dannebrog was an armored frigate of the Royal Danish Navy that was originally built as an 80-gun ship-of-the-line by Andreas Schifter was launched in 1850[1][Note 1] but was reconstructed into a steam-powered ironclad in the early 1860s.

The engine, built by Baumgarten & Burmeister, produced a total of 1,150 indicated horsepower (860 kW) which gave the ship a speed of 8 knots (15 km/h; 9.2 mph).

[2] Dannebrog, named after the Danish national flag,[2] was built by the Royal shipyard in Copenhagen as a 72-gun sail ship of the line.
