The 'Dundee'

Soon offers were being made to Scoresby and eventually he finally became commander of the London ship 'Dundee' a much larger vessel than 'Henrietta'.

In 1798 the 'Dundee' set sail for the Greenland Fishery and returned with an enormous 36 whales.  This was Scoresby's record catch.  For 5 years he sailed the 'Dundee' having only one bad season.
