SS Copenhagen is a shipwreck off the town of Lauderdale-By-The-Sea, Florida, United States.[1] The single screw steamer was built in Sunderland, England in 1898, sinking in 1900. Located on the Pompano Dropoff reef south of Hillsboro Inlet, it became the fifth Florida Underwater Archaeological Preserve when it was dedicated in 1994.[2] There is a plaque noting this distinction south of the wreck.[3] This was followed on 31 May 2001 with its addition to the US National Register of Historic Places. Everyone Survived.[2]
