Best Answer

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.

She was retired due to age and the cost of maintaining a large clipper ship as an operating sailing vessel.

The Cutty Sark was a clipper ship, designed for speed. The overarching need for speed in sailing ships was for the tea trade. When the new season's crop left India or ceylon, the ship that first got it home to England made lots of money. At the time of building Cutty Sark was the fastest ship.
