Dana (1919)
''Dana'' was a four-masted motor schooner built for the Danish East Asiatic Company (EAK) and launched in 1919. It was made available to the Danish marine biologist Johannes Schmidt, who used it for two expeditions to the Sargasso Sea in 1920–1921. The main goal of the expeditions, named the first and second Dana expeditions, was searching for the spawning grounds of the European eel. The ship was returned to service in EAK after the expeditions and sold to Sweden in 1924, where it was renamed to ''Carina''. Later sold to Italy (1934) and renamed ''Giuseppina V'', it was lost 30 August 1941 during the bombing of Tripoli Tripoli or Tripolis may refer to: Cities and other geographic units Greece *Tripoli, Greece, the capital of Arcadia, Greece * Tripolis (region of Arcadia), a district in ancient Arcadia, Greece * Tripolis (Larisaia), an ancient Greek city in ....

Dana (1921)
''Dana'' was a Danish research vessel, best known for the circumnavigation of the world in the Dana expedition, third Dana expedition 1928–1930. Construction and design It was built as an British Admiralty, Admiralty in 1917 (HMT John Quilliam). Danish sservice In 1921, HMT ''John Quilliam'' was sold to the Danish Government.

Dana (1937)
''Dana'' was the primary Danish research vessel for almost 40 years. It was built in 1937 and served research purposes until 1980. On the first cruise into the North Atlantic in 1938 it was discovered that the ship was unsuited for its purpose, as it was not sufficiently stable to allow scientific work. It was returned to the shipyard and extended by in 1939. During the Second World War (1940-1945) the ship was kept and maintained in Copenhagen harbour, but with vital engine parts removed and thus never seized by the German occupation force. The main work from ''Dana'' was to conduct marine biological and hydrographical research in the Baltic, North Sea and waters around Faroe Islands and Greenland. In 1966 ''Dana'' was on a cruise to the Sargasso Sea and West Indies (cruise leader Erik Berthelsen), with primary aims to conduct hydrographical research and continue research on the reproductive biology of the European eel.

Dana (1980)
Dana (IV) is the primary Danish research vessel. It entered service in 1981, where it replaced the research vessel Dana (III). Originally built for the Danish Fisheries and Marine Research, but transferred to the National Institute for Aquatic Resources under the Danish Technical University in 2007. The ship is rigged as a deep sea stern trawler and fully equipped with facilities for fisheries and hydrographical research. Primary areas of operation are the Baltic Sea, North Sea and Greenland Greenland ( kl, Kalaallit Nunaat, ; da, Grønland, ) is an island country in North America that is part of the Kingdom of Denmark.
