This question was presented in the article above. I have never seen a good image of the Copenhagen while it was still afloat. There was just the partial image of the grounded vessel, see below.

It is possible she resembled the "Glenmoor", see below. It was also constructed by Sir John Priest at the Sunderland shipyard six years later with a similar length and tonnage. This vessel resembles aspects of the artist rendering of the Copenhagen. Input?
