Boaty McBoatface WINS

We posted a story about Boaty McBoatface a few weeks back.

A UK polar research vessel took to online pubic forms to find a name.

These were the top five names suggested and voted for;

1. RRS Boaty McBoatface – 124,109
2. RRS Poppy-Mai – 34,371
3. RRS Henry Worsley – 15,231
4. RRS It’s bloody cold here – 10,679
5. RRS David Attenborough – 10,284

The polls have now closed, and the big winner is McBoatface!

The official call will be made by the NERC chief, but he has a tough decision to make!

If you were in the chief’s place, would you choose to uphold the credibility of your organization? Or would you please the people and have (what we think is) one of the best boat names in the world!?

We’re rootin for ya Boaty McBoatface 😉
