RRS Sir David Attenborough AKA Boaty McBoatface

RRS Sir David Attenborough is the British lead boat in a fleet of three robotic Autosub Long Range lithium battery powered autonomous underwater vehicles. It is owned by the National Oceanography Centre, based in Southampton. Operated by the British Antarctic Survey, this ship will mapping the movement of deep waters which play a vital role in regulating the Earth's climate. It originally cost 260,000,000 dollars to build and contains chemical and acoustic sensors, which are used to predict sea level rises and the effect of climate change on the ocean. Originally called Boaty McBoatface, as a comical and affectionate title which was a result of a poll, this is a high tech and essential contributor to the science world's efforts to establish the damage we are doing to the environment. We were therefore naturally very proud to supply a range of stock and bespoke wood effect poster snap frames to RRS Sir David Attenborough. I like to think they are wall mounted at locations that are crucial to the critical activities of the ship.
