SS Copenhagen is a shipwreck off the town of Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, Florida, United States.[2] The single screw steamer was built in Sunderland, England in 1898, sinking in 1900.[3] Located on the Pompano Dropoff reef south of Hillsboro Inlet, it became the fifth Florida Underwater Archaeological Preserve when it was dedicated in 1994.[4] There is a plaque noting this distinction south of the wreck.[5] This was followed on 31 May 2001 with its addition to the US National Register of Historic Places.[3]
