Join our Ship Director Ali Gellatly in a talk to celebrate 125 years since the Discovery left the city it was built in and went on its inagural voyage to Antactica, and 40 years since the ship retuned home in 1986. Having been there for one of these events, and worked at Dundee Heritage Trust preserving and sharing the incredible story of the RRS Discovery this talk promises to give a unique insight into the ships construction, first voyage and return to Dundee from someone whose spent more time there than Scott did.
