HISTORY

Cutty Sark has travelled across the world, sailing under both the Red Ensign and the Portuguese flag, visiting every major port around the world through the course of her working life. Cutty Sark  is a British clipper ship and built on the Clyde in 1869 for the Jock Willis Shipping Line. John 'Jock' Willis, a seasoned sailing ship master who had taken over his father’s firm of ship owners in the port of London. His ambition was for Cutty Sark to be the fastest ship in the annual race to bring home the first of the new season's tea from China.

Cutty Sark spent only a few years on the tea trade before turning to the trade in wool from Australia, where she held the record time to Britain for ten years. she was one of the last tea clippers to be built and one of the fastest, coming at the end of a long period of design development which halted as sailing ships gave way to steam propulsion. In admiration of her beauty and in recognition of her fame, she was preserved for the nation by Captain Wilfred Dowman in 1922. Since then, the old clipper has been berthed in Falmouth and Greenhithe, finally arriving at her current resting place in Greenwich in 1954.

Cutty Sark is listed by National Historic Ships as part of the National Historic Fleet. She is one of only three remaining original composite construction clipper ships from the nineteenth century in part or whole.

Tall ship models are professionally packed in carton boxes with extremely secure wooden crates inside the carton boxes. The ship inside is tied down with many bungee cords and cushioned with wooden bars or foam blocks to protect it from moving sideways and upwards.
