After a year of planning, gaining permissions and securing funding Jeff Lonsdale was one of six men that would make up RRS Discovery’s final crew as she boarded the Happy Mariner and set off on her final voyage to her home city in April 1986. At the time Jeff headed up the Dundee Project who were instrumental in bringing the 120 year old ship back to the shores where she was built.
