		The Second Battle of Copenhagen, which lasted from 16 August to 5 September 1807, was, like the First Battle of Copenhagen, an attack by the British on the Danish capital of Copenhagen.
		At this time most of the Danish army under the Crown Prince was defending the southern border against possible attack from the French, thus the defence of Copenhagen was extremely limited.
		On 7 September 1807, Danish General Peymann surrendered both the city and the fleet (18 battleships, 1 frigate, 1 pram, 2 ships, 2 ship-sloops, 7 brig-sloops, 2 brigs, 1 schooner and 25 gunboats) to the overwhelming British and Hanoverian force under General Lord Cathcart.
