One of the most famous sailing ships ever built, well worth the visit if you are in Dundee.

The RRS Discovery is a barque-rigged auxiliary steamship built in Dundee, Scotland for Antarctic research. Launched in 1901, she was the last traditional wooden three-masted ship to be built in the United Kingdom. Her 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.
After service as a merchant ship before and during the First World War, Discovery was taken into the service of the British government in 1923 to carry out scientific research in the Southern Ocean, becoming the first Royal Research Ship. The ship undertook a two-year expedition – the Discovery Investigations – recording valuable information on the oceans, marine life and being the first scientific investigation into whale populations.
On her return from the BANZARE (British Australian and New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition), Discovery was moored in London as a static training ship and visitor attraction until 1979. That year she was placed in the care of the Maritime Trust as a museum ship. In 1986 she was moved to Dundee, the city where she was built. After an extensive restoration, Discovery is now the centrepiece of a visitor attraction in the city.

It occurred to me that I may never have posted a black and white image of the Discovery. I may be wrong but if not I remedy that with this offering.

I set out with a view to get this ship how I wanted, low down in the dry dock. Which meant me jumping the gates. It was worth it. I had minutes before the wind picked up and ruined the reflection.

The ship 'RRS Discovery' was built in 1901, and was the last traditional three masted ship to be built in the UK. She was originally constructed for Antarctic research purposes. After a long and successful life she is now in a custom-built dock in Dundee, the city in which she was built.
