Cutty Sark ship model

 
 

Among the most famous old sailing ships still in existence, Cutty Sark is one.  Cutty Sark is the most famous tea clipper, and the only one that survives.

Cutty Sark's sleek lines and enormous area of sail made her the fastest ship in the race via the Cape of Good Hope for the money-spinning tea trade.  In 1872, Cutty Sark crushed the fastest clipper at the time, Thermopylae. 

Later, from 1885 to 1895, Cutty Sark was used in the wool trade with Australia.  She set new speed records year after year.

In 1938, Cutty Sark was donated to Thames Nautical Training College where she was used as a training vessel. In 1954 she was placed in a specially constructed dry dock in Greenwich.  After much restoration work Cutty Sark was opened to the public in 1957.  More than thirteen million people have visited the glorious clipper ship.
