Danmark (armoured Frigate)
''Danmark'' was an armored frigate of the Royal Danish Navy originally ordered by the Confederate States Navy. The origins of the ''Danmark'' lie in efforts of the Confederate States of America to purchase warships in Europe, which is to say in the United Kingdom and France, during the American Civil War. These efforts were led by James Dunwoody Bulloch, but the ''Danmark'' was ordered by another Confederate agent, Lieutenant (later Commander) James H. North. North was sent to Europe by Confederate Navy secretary Stephen Mallory with the aim of buying a completed sea-going ironclad warship, the French Navy's ''Gloire'', and ordering a similar vessel on Confederate account. The French government refused to sell ''Gloire'', or to allow a sister ship to be built in French shipyards. North proceeded to Britain, where the Whig government had adopted a laissez-faire attitude to American arms-buying. Here he met with George Thomson, co-owner of the Clydebank shipbuilders J. & G.
