There was an iron-hulled Danish gunboat built in 1859 at Orlogsværftet named Schrødersee (da:Kanonbåden Schrødersee), a Category:Thura class gunboat, and the hull looks similar though funnel changed places, so very possibly they are the same ship if significantly reconfigured at some point. The Danish Schrødersee was converted to a survey vessel in 1885, then out of military service in 1894.
