Hi, l.p. Those articles designed for newspaper distribution have a specific word limit. But I confirmed that this additional museum is mentioned in the Near Copenhagen chapter of Rick's Scandinavia guidbeook.

I went to the Maritime Museum in Elsinore this time last year.
It is absolutely wonderful, and not to be missed!

Markk those are some great additions, but I must correct you, since Fregatten Jylland is not in Sweden, but in Denmark! For a German to make such a mistake is a bit of an insult to Danish National pride, since the Frigate Jylland was instrumental in the Danish victory over Prussian and Austrian ships in the battle of Helgoland in 1864. We did however loose the war, which is why Haithabu (and south Schleswig) is now in Germany and not in Denmark.

No worries MarkK, we don't take our national pride to serious anyway :-)
I haven't been to the Tirpitz Museum since i was a kid, but it looks like they have updated it quite a bit.
While we are at it, we could also add the Sea War Museum https://www.seawarmuseum.dk in Thyborøn, which main focus is the Battle of Jutland in 1916.
