<br/><br/> The Danish research ship pulled into the port of Manila on July 6, 1951, and four days later it steamed away on its scientific mission to the Mindanao Deep. Among the most outstanding objectives of the Expedition to the Mindanao Deep were: To gauge by sounding the much disputed depth of the trench trawl for deep-sea animals and fishes, find how far below the surface living things can exist, determine the bottom configuration of the Deep, take bottom mud samples for bacteriological and sedimentation studies, and make organic productivity measurements. Last but not least was the spreading of Danish goodwill, wherever the work of the Expedition took the ship in its two-year round-the-world cruise of scientific discoveries.
