The RRS Discovery

This most recent weekend, we stuck around Dundee to relax. (although, I'm always relaxing!) On Sunday we went to see the RRS Discovery which was the ship that brought Captain Robert Falcon Scott and his crew to Antarctica to conduct research during the years 1901-1904. Dundee is extremely proud of the fact that one of their shipyards built the ship so they have made this museum the center attraction of the city. In fact, they have called Dundee "the city of Discovery". As one Dundonian put it, "everything is blooming Discovery". (blooming is used as kind of a swear word, like "blooming idiot")

I made Nick take this picture because I thought the knots were cool. We didn't have to learn these knots for rock climbing. Thank goodness because they look difficult!
