THE DISCOVERT VISITS LONDON.—The new research ship of the National Institute of Oceanography photographed in the Pool of London during a recent six-day visit. The ship, which was built by Hall, Russell and Company, of Aberdeen, costs £8000,000, and has 3400 sq. ft of laboratory space for her 20 scientists. A bow propeller, controlled from the bridge, enables her to be manoeuvred in confined spaces, such as when working her way through ice floes. The Discovery is to take part in an international Indian Ocean expedition, in which 40 ships from 13 countries will work.
