The RRS Discovery is the expedition ship with which Robert Falcon Scott undertook his expeditions to Antarctica. RRS stands for Royal Research Ship.
It was launched on March 21, 1901 in Dundee and was specially developed for Antarctic research missions. Particular attention was paid to a solid outer hull made of several overlapping planks of exceptionally hard wood, intended to withstand the dangers of ice floes and freezing waters. A wind turbine with an electric generator could be installed on the foredeck.

The ship model shown is a true-to-scale replica of the RRS Discovery.
This model was made 100% by hand with precision using traditional frame construction with hull planking.
Exotic fine woods such as teak, mahogany, rosewood or mango are used, resulting in a valuable and decorative premium model.
After completion, the hull is carefully sanded and, where intended, varnished. The model is then coated with a protective clear varnish.
Ornaments and decorative details (e.g. cannons, portholes, anchors, dials and wheels …) are made of brass, chrome or other high-quality metals.
The sails are made of fabric or silk, the masts of wood and the rigging of solid cotton threads. Some of these ropes have special knots that allow the ropes to be re-tensioned at any time.
