The royal yacht “Dannebrog” was a paddle steamer, which was in service from 1880–1932 until she was replaced by the present “Dannebrog”. Originally painted black, she was repainted white in 1906. Here, she is possibly seen on a voyage to England, where she is being escorted by the vessel “Valkyrien”.
