Part of my Scotland set,
Dundee used to be a town full of mills, mainly exporting jute and other fabrics, which were used for ship sails, potato sacks and more, business boomed in Dundee during several wars, when they were required to make boating sails. Dundee also had a huge shipbuilding industry, mainly building whaling ships that could withstand becoming stuck in the Arctic ice. Dundee is also nicknamed 'City of Discovery', as it was the place where the ship RRS Discovery, a research ship that went to the Antarctic, and remained ice-locked for two years, was built. Discovery is still in Dundee today.
