HDMS Bellona was a frigate of the Royal Danish Navy, which she served from 1835 to 1862. On her maiden voyage to the Mediterranean Sea, she picked up some of Bertel Thorvaldsen's sculptures. Thorvaldsen lived 40 years in Rome. In 1840, she was sent on a partly diplomatic and partly scientific expedition to South America.
