The RRS Discovery returend to Tristan on Saturday 30th March 2019 for a busy final day of the Tristan leg of its Blue Belt expedition.

In a typically generous gesture to friends on St Helena, islanders loaded sacks of fresh quality Tristan potatoes as presents for Saints when the ship arrives in a few days' time. The photos show the sacks on the deck of RRS Discovery. |
