Watson and Crick did not discover DNA - it had been isolated, then called nuclein, in 1869. What remained unknown was the structure of DNA - this is what Watson and Crick proposed. After they came up with a structure for DNA (1953), they went to 'The Eagle' pub in Cambridge, just round the corner from their lab, and Crick announced to the other customers that he and Watson had discovered 'the secret of life'. The Eagle now has a plaque commemorating the event. They also wrote a letter to Nature, though presumably not while at the pub. Watson and Crick did not discover DNA. What they did was examine the data collected by others, and propose a structure for the DNA molecule.
