RRS Discovery
A number of ships have borne the name RRS Discovery. The original (which was the last wooden three-masted ship to be built in the British Isles) was launched on 21 March 1901 and designed for Antarctic research. Her first mission was to carry Captain Scott and Ernest Shackleton on their first, remarkably successful journey to the Antarctic, otherwise known as the National Antarctic Expedition.
