She was built for theRoyal Danish Navy in 1860 as a sailing frigate with an auxiliary screw-drive steam engine and a wooden hull.[1] The figurehead was carved by the sculptor Julius Magnus Petersen and represents the region ofJutland in the form of the shepherd's rod and the fishing net.[2]

During theSecond Schleswig War, she participated in the naval action against the Austro-Prussian fleet in theBattle of Heligoland on 9 May 1864.Jylland, along withNiels Juel andHeimdall, engaged two Austrian frigates and three small Prussiangunboats, but was unable to maintain the blockade of the Prussian North Sea ports.Jylland sustained considerable damage during the battle.[3]
By 1874, she was in use as atraining ship for naval cadets.[4] In the 1890s she was reduced to stationary use and barely escaped scrapping in 1908. She served as a barracks and training ship between 1892 and 1908.[1] It was, however, decided to preserve her and she was towed to Ebeltoft in 1960. The hulked frigate further deteriorated until she was placed in dry dock in 1984.[1] Restoration proved to be a major task; over 60% of the timber had to be replaced in addition to the rigging, armament, engines and loose gear.
In Danish, she is known as simplyFregatten Jylland, although several ships have used this name. The restoration efforts were completed in 1994 and she is on permanent display in dry dock at the town ofEbeltoft, Denmark. A commemorative coin was issued by theNational Bank of Denmark.[5]Jylland is the last survivingscrew frigate.
