Model of 1620 Danish Ship Donated to Tranquebar Maritime Museum
A model of the Danish frigate 'Elephant,' believed to be the first Danish ship to land at Tharangambadi in 1620, was donated to the Tranquebar Maritime Museum by the Danish Tranquebar Association. The ship was part of a fleet led by Admiral Ove Gedde, who established trade links and initiated Fort Dansborg's construction. The model, built by Koge Maritime Model Builders' Guild, was presented on World Tourism Day as a symbol of India-Denmark friendship and cooperation.
