Cutty Sark

Cutty Sark is one of the fastest and the only surviving ships of its time. It was the only surviving tea clippers from the merchant service. Many epic voyages were made and the ship survived all the odds of times. At its peak in the nineteen century, Cutty Sark sailed through the world’s important trading routes. For more historic information on Cutty Sark you can read an article on “History.co.uk” In 2006 the ship caught fire due to the mistake of the co-workers not switching off the industrial vacuum cleaner. Cutty Sark is now open to the general public with all its glory since April 2012.
