Discovery Point, Maritime museum and research ship in Dundee, Scotland
Discovery Point exhibits the Royal Research Ship Discovery, a wooden three-masted ship that conducted scientific expeditions in polar regions during the early 1900s.
The Royal Research Ship Discovery completed its first Antarctic expedition in 1901 under Captain Scott, marking the start of British research missions in polar territories.
The museum displays demonstrate how Scottish shipbuilding expertise and maritime traditions shaped polar exploration through artifacts, photographs, and interactive exhibits.
Discovery Point offers annual passes for repeat visits, with current adult admission at £14 and free entry for children under 16 years old.
The Royal Research Ship Discovery remains permanently anchored at its birthplace in Dundee, allowing visitors to explore its original cabins and deck spaces.
