RSS Discovery
RRS Discovery was the last traditional wooden three-masted ship to be built in Britain. It was designed for Antarctic research, and launched as a Royal Research Ship (RRS) in 1901. Its first mission was the British National Antarctic Expedition, carrying Robert Falcon Scott and Ernest Shackleton on their first, successful journey to the Antarctic, known as the Discovery Expedition. It is now a museum.
It is reputedly haunted. People have claimed to have heard phantom footsteps. One guest at a function there claimed she spent the evening talking to a man she could see, but whom remained unseen to all other guests!
