English: A detailed topographical map of Copenhagen and its surroundings showing the layout of the city and the British positions during the siege which lasted from 23 August to 6 September 1807.
The siege of Copenhagen was also known as the Second Battle of Copenhagen, or, the Bombardment of Copenhagen. During the siege, Copenhagen was burnt by an attack in which the British used over 14,000 missiles, including about 300 Congreve Rockets. The result of the siege was that the Danish navy surrendered to the British. From the collection of military and naval maps and prints of George III (1738-1820) |
