RSS Discovery.
Built in Vigo Spain in 2013, the 5954 Gross Ton RRS (Royal Research Ship) Discovery is Registered in the United Kingdom and is attached to the Southampton University's Oceanography Centre where she can often be seen berthed in the Empress Dock, Southampton. On Friday 30th September 2016, I was fortunate to capture this image of Discovery from the deck of the Red Funnel car and passenger ferry Red Osprey, as Discovery was navigating the Thorn Deep Water Channel in the Solent, in-bound for the Port of Southampton.
