Features

Discovery Mast Climb Experience: Climb 25 metres as your heart races and you imagine choppy Southern Oceans below, for a truly one-of-a-kind experience combining immense bravery, skill and remarkable history. Prepare for the latest exhilarating experience aboard RRS Discovery! Ascend on a thrilling journey as you climb the ship’s historic rigging in the footsteps of the 1901 crew, scaling the towering foremast of Captain Scott’s famous Antarctic ship, in a feat of courage rewarding you with unparalleled views over RRS Discovery and its home city, before zip-lining over 40 metres back to Dundee’s glimmering waterfront.
Conserving the RRS Discovery: At 125 years old, the Royal Research Ship Discovery is currently undergoing a once-in-a-generation repair and conservation project: over £3.4 million of work to her stern, deck, keel, and hull, in an effort to conserve one of the nation’s most globally significant ships for the next 100 years. Supported by the National Heritage Memorial Fund, the National Lottery Heritage Fund, the Tay Cities Region Deal, the Northwood Charitable Trust, and the Headley Trust, amongst others, the project aims not just to preserve the historic structure and fabric of the ship, but to create a fully supportive habitat for the first time, and invest in the survival of critically endangered heritage skills for the future.
