ResumoThis paper looks back to the predecessors of Captain Robert Falcon Scott's Discovery, which was built for the National Antarctic Expedition 1901–1904. The period covered is 1602 to 1876. An account is given of the exploring voyages of those ships named Discovery which sailed to the Arctic, including those of George Waymouth, Henry Hudson, William Baffin, James Knight, Christopher Middleton, James Cook, George Vancouver and Sir George Nares. In addition brief mention is made of several ships owned by the East India Company, also named Discovery, which sailed in lower latitudes.
