Overview
In 2000, RRS Discovery was officially designated as one of the most important historic ships in the United Kingdom.
She was named as part of the National Historic Ships Committee’s Core Collection of vessels of ‘pre-eminent national significance in terms of maritime heritage, historical association or innovation of technology’. Discovery fits all three categories of significance.
Dundee Heritage Trust proudly offers guests the chance to experience private dining on the RRS Discovery in the atmospheric mahogany panelled Officer’s Wardroom, where Captain Scott and his officers dined in Antarctica from 1901-1904. This is a truly magnificent and magical venue for any celebration.
