RRS Discovery – Dundee Heritage Trust

Protecting the RRS Discovery from the threat of fire

ADT is delighted to have formed a partnership with the Dundee Heritage Trust to help protect one Europe’s uniquely designed vessels. The RRS Discovery was declared one of the most important historic ships in the United Kingdom by the National Historic Ships Committee in 2000. 

Visited by 60,000 people annually, she is an iconic vessel with a history filled with some of the most famous polar explorers, such as Captain Robert Falcon Scott, Ernest Shackleton and Sir Douglas Mawson. To preserve and protect this grand voyager, the Dundee Heritage Trust and ADT formed a partnership to sponsor the installation of a new radio fire protection system through the Trust’s Heritage Supporter scheme.

“The RRS Discovery is the only vessel in existence built to that specific design and is the organisation’s main asset,” explains Mark Munsie, Operations Director at the Dundee Heritage Trust. “The Trust already has an excellent relationship with ADT, which secures and protects Discovery Point museum. We therefore saw ADT’s market leading expertise as the perfect platform to begin a partnership to secure and protect an important part of European maritime history. She is the pride of Dundee and an excellent example of our ship building heritage.”

ADT is proud to be supporting an excellent charity that preserves such a significant part of history. The RRS Discovery tells a wonderful story and we are extremely proud to be working with the Dundee Heritage Trust in providing the ongoing protection for this inspirational vessel.
