• the Aalborg, Arendal, Assens, Christiansund, Flensborg, Fredericksund,Helsingoer, Kallundborg, Langesund, Nakskov, Middelfart, Odense, Roskilde, Rødbye, Saltholmen, Staværn, Svendborg, and Wiborg.
• Six gunboats (Faaborg, Holbek, Kjerteminde, Nestved, Nysted and Nykjobing) abandoned or stranded in the Kattegat were recovered by the Norwegians or Danes and returned to naval use.
• Stubbekjobing had been destroyed by a mortar fired from the land at Svannemølle Bay on 26 August.

Gun Barges

Four barges (stykpram), floating gun platforms each with 20 cannon, were incapable of being moved far and so were scuttled by the British during their occupation of Copenhagen. Of these four barges (Hajen, Kiempen, Lindormen and Sværdfisken) only Hajen was not raised and refurbished by the Danes after the British departure. A further "unsinkable" floating battery ( Flådebatteri No 1) of twentyfour 24-pound cannon was rendered inoperable and decommissioned the following year.

(Note that in 1809 there was a plan to give almost all of captured vessels more traditional British warship names, but this plan was later cancelled, and most Danish vessels retained their original names, or at least, anglicised versions thereof, until they were broken up.)
