The Terra Nova - built by Alexander Stephens & Sons in 1884.
It is perhaps best known for being the ship that served the British Antarctic Expedition of 1910 - an expedition commanded by Captain Scott. Whilst the expedition successfully collected a great deal of information relating to Geology, Biology and Meteorology it was overshadowed by the loss of Captain Scott, Lawrence Oates, Edward Wilson, Henry Bowers and Edgar Evans during a trek to the South Pole.

The ship however did not survive the war and on the night of 17 April 1917 it was torpedoed by a German U-Boat whilst on route to Southampton. Of the 576 persons on board, some 542 survived the sinking despite the ship descending under the waves in less than an hour after having been struck.
