EDITORS COMMENTS
RSS Discovery Moored on the Thames Embankment, London (circa 1930s) This evocative photograph captures the RSS Discovery, a legendary sailing ship of the Scout Association, gracefully moored on the Thames Embankment in the heart of London during the 1930s. The ship's distinctive rigging, with its tall masts and sails billowing in the breeze, stands in stark contrast against the backdrop of the city's iconic landmarks. The RSS Discovery, a symbol of adventure and exploration, was a vital part of the Scouting movement during this era. The ship provided a unique platform for young Scouts to learn essential sailing and seamanship skills, fostering a sense of camaraderie, self-reliance, and a deep connection with nature. In this image, the ship's lifeboat, a vital piece of safety equipment, can be seen hanging amidships. The lifeboat was an essential component of the vessel, ensuring the safety of the crew and Scouts on board during their various voyages. The Thames River, with its gentle current and historic significance, served as the perfect backdrop for the RSS Discovery's London mooring. The association of the ship with the river and the city added to the sense of adventure and discovery for the young Scouts who sailed on her. This photograph, taken in the 1930s, is a testament to the enduring legacy of the RSS Discovery and the Scouting movement. It transports us back in time, allowing us to experience a bygone era of maritime adventure and youthful exploration.
