It "remained in ships" when the other tribes went to war.
Gilead abode beyond Jordan: and why did Dan remain in ships?
Dan in ships is strange.
In a 1968 article he concluded that it "refers to a stage at which Dan dwelt by the shores of the Great Sea and engaged in ships" (Yadin, Australian Journal of Biblical Archaeology).
Homer calls the Greeks Danaans, as in The Catalogue of Ships.
That rests on the similar name and the shared link to ships and Egypt.

The Catalogue of Ships
The Medinet Habu reliefs show ox carts with women and children, a sea battle in which the northern ships are capsized, and prisoners branded with the king's name.
Their horned helmets and their ships, with tall stems ending in a swan or dragon head, also have northern parallels, for example in Swedish rock carvings.
Both have bull sacrifices, ship sheds, a mild climate and two harvests a year.
Spanuth also used echo-sounder records from a survey ship.
In 1869 the French explorer Onffroy de Thoron argued, in the journal of the Geneva geographical society, that the ships of Solomon and Hiram sailed across the Atlantic and up the Amazon, and he placed Ophir, Tarshish and Parvaim in its upper basin.
Before giving the proofs that the ships of Solomon and Hiram made several voyages to the river of the Amazons, it is necessary first to show that the peoples of the most remote antiquity knew America.
According to Plato, the naval forces of the Atlanteans numbered several thousand ships; even allowing for exaggeration, we have in the accounts just cited the proofs that the Ocean was navigated by peoples whose antiquity goes back beyond the cataclysm of Atlantis, and we have the certainty that the peoples of the two great continents knew each other perfectly well before the Phoenician era.
The Canaanites driven out by Joshua took ship for Mauretania, whose coasts are washed by the Mediterranean and the Ocean.
Hanno, a Carthaginian admiral, made a voyage from the strait of Gades to the entrance of the Arabian Gulf, sailing around Africa;[^6] he embarked 30,000 persons of both sexes on sixty ships to serve in founding these Carthaginian cities and colonies.
The fleet of Carthage numbered two hundred ships, and at the time of the First Punic War it rose to five hundred vessels.
We can now understand why Solomon asked Hiram for sailors to send his ships to Ophir and Tarschisch; and we will show that these famous places of the Bible, as well as Parvaïm, lay in the interior of the river of the Amazons.
The old king had no ships sailing the outer seas; he therefore received the gold of Ophir through the trade of the Phoenicians, who, according to the Bible, knew every sea.
Fear of arousing the jealous touchiness of the seafaring peoples of the Mediterranean was no doubt the reason that led Solomon to have the ships he intended for the voyages to Ophir built at Ezion-Geber, on the Red Sea.
Our discovery of the route that the ships of Solomon and of the king of Tyre followed across the Ocean, 2,880 years ago, to reach America, will be demonstrated in this Memoir beyond refutation.
Since their research in every part of the Old World produced no plausible solution, we followed the opposite course, and it is in America itself, and in its least known part, that we discovered the famous places Ophir, Parvaïm and Tarschisch; at these very spots there are still various localities that have kept Hebrew names, while the names of the goods that the ships of Solomon and of his ally the king of Tyre brought back belong precisely to the language of the natives of the region those ships frequented: and these names, as the greatest philologists admit, belonged to a language other than Hebrew.
This Hebrew-Phoenician colony lasted a fairly long time; for the triennial voyages of the ships of Solomon and Hiram were repeated several times; it was probably only left to its fate under the reign of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, at a time when the all-powerful Carthaginians allowed no other nation to leave the Mediterranean.
Étienne Quatremère, in his Memoir on the Land of Ophir,[^16] says that the name of Ophir remained unknown to the Greek and Latin writers; he refutes the hypotheses of the various scholars and geographers who have treated this question; he does not accept that Ophir was located on the Arabian Gulf, in Arabia Felix, or in any part of India; he does not even accept that it could have been in Ceylon, Sumatra, Borneo or any other point of the Far East, for the very simple reason, he says, that the ships of Solomon and Hiram took three years on each voyage.
It cannot be accepted that the voyage of fleets setting out from the Red Sea or the Mediterranean for Sofala would have been longer than the voyage to the islands of the Far East; voyages to Sofala would therefore not explain the three years of each absence of the two kings' ships.
Fifth, by drawing nearer to the Antis, a half-civilized and hard-working people, they could make good use of them and obtain provisions for their ships.
To go to Tarschisch, the Bible tells us, the prophet Jonah took ship at Joppa: so it was to undertake the navigation of the Atlantic; otherwise he would have taken ship on the Red Sea.
Once every three years the ships of Tarschisch came, bringing gold, silver, ivory, apes and peacocks." Chronicles confirms these triennial voyages, saying, book II, chapter IX, verse 21: "The ships went to Tarschisch for the king, with the servants of Hiram: once every three years the ships of Tarschisch came."
Some have maintained that Tarschisch could only be on the coast of the East Indies, which is plainly impossible, since Jonah, to go there, far from taking ship on the Red Sea, went to take ship at Joppa, and since, moreover, Hiram's fleet came out of the Mediterranean.
Let us now examine some of the names of the goods that the ships of Solomon and Hiram brought back from their triennial voyages; for, except for the gold, silver and precious stones, known to the Hebrews before these voyages, the other articles imported to Jerusalem arrived there with names belonging to a foreign language; and these foreign names evidently came from the place the imported articles came from.
In the first book of Kings, chapter X, verse 11, it is said that Hiram's ships brought gold from Ophir and a great quantity of almug trees, a name whose plural is almughim אלמגים.
It seems that the Tyrian ships were the only ones that brought this wood; if it is sandalwood, we can affirm that there is a great deal of it in the Upper Amazon.
They crossed this water in skin canoes, or by swimming; but they know not how long they were in crossing, or whether the water was salt or fresh.” While the Dakotas, according to Major Lynd, who lived among them for nine years, possessed legends of “huge skiffs, in which the Dakotas of old floated for weeks, finally gaining dry land”–a reminiscence of ships and long sea-voyages.
In the mid-1930s, with support from geologists like Richard Field and William Bowie, Ewing secured ship time on the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution’s research vessel RV Atlantis.
He outfitted the ship with echo sounders, towed hydrophones for seismic work, dredges, sediment corers, and underwater cameras.
Ewing prioritized dedicated ships for year-round operations rather than short, targeted cruises:
These ships operated relentlessly (often 300+ days/year), amassing unprecedented datasets across all oceans.
These names likely come from exploratory ships (like RV Atlantis) or conventional naming practices, with “Plato” possibly nodding to the philosopher in a light or coincidental way.
Propulsion of vehicles — airships, surface ships, and submarines — using invisible rays (through a form of induction or remote control).
The faithful (I’hins/Faithists) are saved in ships and become the seed of renewal.
Russian Folktales: The motif also independently appeared in Eastern European folklore (often involving the witch Baba Yaga), where it became known as a self-flying carpet or a magic ship.
According to Menzies’s studies, Minoan ships ranged from the Americas to India.
Menzies wrote of ingots of nearly pure copper found in a sunken Minoan ship near Thera. Because copper of this quality is found only near Lake Superior in North America, the Minoans clearly had amazing range with their fleet of ships.
And as you well know, the priest-architect of Atlantis, known to you as Noah, constructed a mighty ship that eventually carried animals and humans to the new colonies around the planet, particularly toward the area in the Middle East of today that you call the Fertile Crescent.
And so you migrated by land, by sea, and flying through the air in ships.
When Atlantis had completed its whole cycle and the time of its final destruction came, the wise teachers of Atlantis took their followers by ship and then overland to new locations all around the world.
They teleported or came in space ships and in ways that we do not yet understand.
They taught me that even if I can’t physically get into the water while on the ship, I can still harness its power.
They come by ship, both through the water and the air.

So also hath the man of much learning drowned his own spirit in darkness; nevertheless, the man of suis shall not neglect book learning; otherwise he is but as a clock without a regulator, a ship without a rudder.
And I know there are ships that are going down into this.
And there was … what I would call a ship, that is very odd-looking.
1. The Greek philosophy was full of pungent truth, and Jesus longed to study with the masters in the schools of Greece.2. And so he left his home in Nazareth and crossed the Carmel hills, and at the port took ship, and soon was in the Grecian capital.3. Now, the Athenians had heard of him as teacher and philosopher, and they were glad to have him come to them that they might hear his words of truth.4. Among the masters of the Greeks was one, Apollo, who was called, Defender of the Oracle, and recognised in many lands as Grecian sage.5. Apollo opened up for Jesus all the doors of Grecian lore, and in the Areopagus he heard the wisest masters speak.6. But Jesus brought to them a wisdom greater far than theirs; and so he taught.7. Once in the Amphitheatre he stood, and when Apollo bade him speak he said,8. Athenian masters, hear!
1. It was a holy day and Jesus walked upon the Athens beach.2. A storm was on and ships were being tossed about like toys upon the bosom of the sea.3. The sailors and the fishermen were going down to watery graves; the shores were strewn with bodies of the dead.4. And Jesus halted not, but with a mighty power he rescued many a helpless one, oft bringing back to life the seeming dead.5. Now, on these shores were altars sacred to the gods supposed to rule the seas.6. And men and women, heedless of the cries of drowning men were crowding all about these altars calling on their gods for help.7. At length the storm was done, and all the sea was calm, and men could think again; and Jesus said,8. You worshippers of wooden gods, how has the fury of this storm been lessened by your frantic prayers?9. Where is the strength of these poor, weather-beaten gods with painted swords and crowns?10. A god that could abide in such a little house could hardly hold a frantic fly, and who could hope that he could hold at bay the Lords of winds and waves?11. The mighty powers of worlds unseen do not give forth their help till men have done their best; they only help when men can do no more.12. And you have agonised and prayed around these shrines, and let men sink to death who might have been, by your assistance, saved.13. The God that saves dwells in your souls, and manifests by making use of your own feet, and legs, and arms, and hands.14. Strength never comes through idleness; nor through a waiting for another one to bear your loads, or do the work that you are called to do.15. But when you do your best to bear your loads, and do your work, you offer unto God a sacrifice well-pleasing in his sight.16. And then the Holy One breathes deep upon your glowing sacrificial coals, and makes them blaze aloft to fill your souls with light, and strength and helpfulness.17. The most efficient prayer that men can offer to a god of any kind is helpfulness to those in need of help; for what you do for other men the Holy One will do for you.18. And thus God helps.19. His work in Greece was done, and Jesus must go on his way to Egypt in the South.
The body had been given unto holy men who had been friends of John; they placed it in a burial case and carried it away.16. They bore it to the Jordan, which they crossed just at the ford where John first preached the word;17. And through the passes of the Judean hills they carried it.18. They reached the sacred grounds near Hebron, where the bodies of the parents of the harbinger lay in their tombs;19. And there they buried it; and then they went their way.20. Now, when the news reached Galilee that John was dead the people met to sing the sonnets of the dead.21. And Jesus and the foreign masters and the twelve took ship to cross the sea of Galilee.22. A scribe, a faithful friend of John, stood by the sea; he called to Jesus and he said, Rabboni, let me follow where you go.23. And Jesus said, You seek a safe retreat from evil men.
In Lebanon hills and vales, and in its groves he walked in silent thought.25. His earthly mission fast was drawing to a close; he sought for strength, and what he sought he found.26. Mount Hermon stood beyond, and Jesus fain would kneel beside that mountain famed in Hebrew song.27. And then he stood upon Mount Hermon's lofty peaks, and lifting up his eyes to heaven he talked with God.28. And masters of the olden times revealed themselves and long they talked about the kingdom of the Christ;29. about the mighty works that had been done; about the coming conquest of the cross; about the victory over death.30. Then Jesus journeyed on; he went to Cæsarea-Philippi, and in Susanna's home he tarried certain days.31. And then he went through all Decapolis to give encouragement to those who knew him as the Christ, and to prepare them for the day of Calvary.32. And then he went to Gadara, and many friends were there, to welcome him.33. And Chuzas steward of the house of Herod Antipas, was there, and Jesus went aboard the royal ship with him and crossed the sea, and came unto Capernaum.34. And when the people knew that Jesus was at home they came to welcome him.35. In just a little while the twelve apostles came and told the master all about their journey over Galilee.36. They said that by the sacred Word they had done many mighty works; and Jesus said to them, Well done.
