Cutty Sark Cutty Sark No Data

Description


Once one of the fastest sailing ships in the world, the Cutty Sark was designed to get tea from the colonies back to Britain as quickly as possible. With the advent of steam ships she lost her importance and had a number of other roles before being purchased for the nation and returned to Greenwich. Whilst closed for refurbishment in 2007 the ship suffered a massive fire, but - in part due to it undergoing refurbishment - most of the fabric of the ship was saved, and around 90% is original. The refurbishment not only saw the ship being restored, but also being lifted up and enclosed in a glass canopy which means you can now walk below the ship, right under it's keel.
