CUTTY SARK

About Cutty Sark

Cutty Sark, located in Greenwich, London, is a renowned clipper ship built in 1869 for the China tea trade. It's one of the last remaining tea clippers and stands as a symbol of Britain's maritime heritage. The ship's name comes from the Scottish term "cutty sark," meaning a short nightdress. Its sleek design and innovative technology made it one of the fastest ships of its time.

Cutty Sark was involved in the tea and wool trade, racing against other clippers to deliver goods from China to England. Today, it's preserved as a museum ship, offering visitors a glimpse into the golden age of sail. Visitors can explore the ship's interior, learning about its history and the lives of those who sailed aboard. Cutty Sark also hosts events and exhibitions, providing an immersive experience into London's maritime past.
