RRS 'Discovery'

RRS 'Discovery'
Dundee

RRS Discovery is a barque-rigged auxiliary steamship built for Antarctic research, and launched in 1901. She was the last traditional wooden three-masted ship to be built in the United Kingdom. Its first mission was the British National Antarctic Expedition, carrying Robert Falcon Scott and Ernest Shackleton on their first, and highly successful, journey to the Antarctic, known as the Discovery Expedition. Quoted from Wikipedia.

A lot of history with this ship Joe. I see she nearly died around 1979 but was saved and refitted whilst on the River Thames before coming to rest here. I hope you got a chance to explore her from the deck. Well done and cheers for the info.

I have been here many times, Herb, but I have never been on board the RSS Discovery, although I have been in the Visitor Centre a few times. Thanks for your visit and very kind comment. I hope you have an excellent weekend. All the best, Joe
