Central to the exhibition is the impressive model of the warship 'Fides'. Fides took part both in the battle of Kolberger Heide and in the battle of the Fehmarnbelt in 1644, where it was conquered by the Swedes. It was in use until 1669, when it was completely used and lowered and used in the bridge construction at the mast crane in Stockholm. The model is built by Køge Maritime Modelbyggerlaug.

Part of the cannon: In the exhibition, guests can also see this beautiful 'Dolphin'. This is what the handles that sit on top of a cannon are called. The dolphin is in bronze and is - like the rest of the objects from the ship - strongly affected by fire. The dolphin is beautifully shaped, like a dolphin or another 'sea monster'. The dolphin was found between the remains of the ship's bottom planks and ballast stones on the warship Delmenhorst. Photo: Morten Johansen / The Viking Ship Museum

The photo shows a so-called 'grape', which can also be seen in the exhibition. A 'grape' is the back end of a bronze cannon. The many holes in the bronze surface are clear signs of high heat. Archaeologists have found many explosives of the bronze cannons aboard Delmenhorst. Photo: Morten Johansen / Viking Ship Museum in Roskilde.

A calculation coin - a regnepenning - from the warship Delmenhorst. A calculation coin is a flat, imitation 'coin' that - together with a calculation board - was used as the simple but effective bid for a calculator at the time. Photo: Morten Johansen / Viking Ship Museum in Roskilde
