The Cutty Sark is a clipper ship. Built in 1869, she served as a merchant vessel (the last clipper to be built for that purpose), and then as a training ship until being put on public display in 1954. She is preserved in dry dock in Greenwich, London. However, the ship was badly damaged in a fire on 21 May 2007 while undergoing extensive restoration. The ship will be reopened in Summer 2010. The Cutty Sark is the only remaining original clipper ship from the nineteenth century.
This intricately detailed model is a replica of this very famous ship. An ideal gift for all boat enthusiasts, beginners, or veterans.
