The team Investigates RSS Discovery, a ship destined for turmoil in the frozen lands of the Antarctic.
RSS Discovery was the last traditional, wooden three-masted ship to be built in Britain. Designed for Antarctic research, she was launched as a Royal Research Ship in 1901. Her 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. She is now the centrepiece of visitor attraction in her home Dundee, Scotland.
There have been strange occurrences on board the Discovery, and many visitors refuse to go in some of the rooms. A bulb above Ernest Shackleton’s bed also kept blowing out, and an electrician could find no explainable reason for this. Some say Shackleton loved the ship so much that he never left. Ghostly footsteps have been heard, but who they belong to is a mystery.
