Abstract
THE Colonial Office has recently announced that the Discovery has been purchased by the Crown Agents for the Colonies, on behalf of the Falkland Islands, for employment in researches, principally on whaling, off South Georgia and the South Shetlands. The Discovery was built for Capt. R. F. Scott's first Antarctic Expedition (1901–1904). She is a strong wooden vessel of about 700 tons register, and she has been chosen with special reference to her suitability for ice-work.
