Dundee Shipbuilders Company was a Scottish shipbuilding company, renowned for building the RRS Discovery (1901). [1] [2]

The Dundee Shipbuilding 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]
