Dundee Shipbuilders Company (also known as the Dundee Shipbuilding Company) was a Scottish shipbuilding company, renowned for building the RRS Discovery (1901).[1][2]
The Dundee Shipbuilders Company took purchase of the Dundee yards of Alexander Stephen and Sons in 1893.[1][3] This included the Terra Nova then under construction and launched in 1894.[4]
The company built and repaired ship at the Panmure Shipyard in Dundee.[3] The marine works brick buildings are still extant and now converted to residential use.[5]
Reductions in the volumes of shipbuilding in Dundee and Scotland forced the company into loss and subsequent liquidation in 1906.[4]
