On the occasion of the handover of Tranquebar to the British in 1845, the Danish corvette Galathea visited Tranquebar. During 2006-2007, a modern Galathea 3 should have revisited Tranquebar. In this connection, the Tranquebar Initiative was established. "The goal of the Tranquebar Initiative is to strengthen the ongoing Indo-Danish efforts to preserve the intercultural heritage and to explore the colonial Indo-Danish cultural encounters".
