RRS Discovery was the last traditional wooden three-masted ship to be built in Britain. Designed for Antarctic research, it was launched as a Royal Research Ship (RRS) in 1901. Its first mission was the British National Antarctic Expedition, carrying Robert Falcon Scott and Ernest Shackleton on their first, successful journey to the Antarctic, known as the Discovery Expedition.

RRS Discovery with the almost complete V&A Dundee, which is due to open in 2018 in the background.

The new-build RRS Sir David Attenborough is berthed at Liverpool's Cruise Liner Terminal for a few days before heading back into Cammell Laird's for final fitting out. Seen here from Seacombe the ferry Snowdrop is also in view and runs an hourly service across the river - masks have to be worn but you are in the fresh air!

The Ginza Wako building is a symbol of the Ginza street. In the first movie of Godzilla, it was broken by the monster. Now, in the Shin-Godzilla movie, it was broken again.

Well it was for RRS Sir David Attenborough (now with superstructure attached) as it moved into a dry dock for continuing work to make her shipshape. Four tugs were involved in a front back and sideways operation - Barbados, Donau, Waterloo and Zeebrugge. One of the Brunswick boats is seen scooting by. It looks like a bit of T-Cut is needed to the side of the ship as it must have had a bit of a scrape at some point between launch and entry/exit to the wet basin. For me it was dry to wet as the rain moved in but at least it had held dry for the hour or so I was down by the river.
