The starboard side was essentially intact however, and the Dano-Norwegians used these timbers to build a new frigate – the Najaden.

[Note 1] During her entire short life, Najaden's captain was the Danish naval officer Hans Peter Holm.

Her maiden voyage on 29 February 1812 (a leap year) had been delayed by one day because the ship grounded whilst leaving Copenhagen harbour.

She then dragged an anchor on arrival in Brekkestø, Norway, which led to rudder damage on rocks, which further delayed her entry on active service.

Najaden's captain, Hans Peter Holm, also commanded the squadron that consisted of the three brigs - Kiel, Lolland (or Laaland) and Samsøe.
