Just harking back to the discussion of the harvesting of oak trees to rebuild Notre Dame cathedral.
In 1807, an attack on Copenhagen by the Royal Navy effectively completed the destruction of the Danish fleet. The Danes responded by planting 90,000 oak trees to provide the timber to rebuild their navy. In 2007, the Danish Nature Agency, successor to the royal forester, informed the Defense Ministry that the trees were ready.
Two of the oak trees were felled in 2017 to build a replica Viking ship but the demand for wooden ships of the line isn't what it used to be.
