[PAR] [TLE] The Sailor's Daughter [SEP] The Sailor's Daughter is a comedy play by the British writer Richard Cumberland which first premiered on 7 April 1804.  After a young woman, Julia, is orphaned following the Battle of Copenhagen she enjoys a series of adventures until settling down with her long-lost guardian Captain Sentamore. [PAR] [TLE] Battle of Copenhagen (1801) [SEP] The Battle of Copenhagen 1801 (Danish: "Slaget på Reden" ) was the first of two battles which saw the British fleet under the command of Admiral Sir Hyde Parker and Horatio Nelson, a vice admiral in 1801, fight a huge Danish fleet anchored just off Copenhagen on 2 April 1801.  The Danish fleet at the inlet of the Copenhagen harbour formed a blockade preventing the British fleet from entering the harbour.  The Danish mainly used older ships not meant to sail in the sea as blockades.  Denmark defended the capital with these ships and bastions on both side of the harbour inlet, "Kastellet", "Trekroner", "Lynetten" (which all still exists) as well as "Quintus", "Sixtus" and "Strickers".  It was the second attempt by the British to scare Denmark, as the British had already entered Øresund with a navy in August 1800, in order to force Denmark to sign an alliance with Britain.  Now Britain would have Denmark's entire navy and merchant fleet, so it would not fall into the hands of the French.  The British were not aware that the modern Royal Danish Navy and many merchant ships were well hidden in the Roskilde fjord, a bluff which was never called by the British.
