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.
Cutty Sark - whisky - was created in 1923.

The Cutty Sark is a famous British tea clipper ship that is now dry docked in Greenwich. Built in 1869 on the Clyde, she was one of the last tea clippers to be constructed.
The main cargo of the Cutty Sark was tea, specifically Chinese tea, which was highly sought after in Britain during the 19th century. As one of the last tea clippers built, it played a crucial role in the competitive tea trade by transporting this valuable commodity from Asia to Europe. Additionally, the Cutty Sark occasionally carried other goods like wool and spirits, but tea remained its primary cargo throughout its operational years.
The Cutty Sark had a total of 29 sails. Its sail plan featured a combination of square sails on the main and fore masts, along with fore-and-aft sails on the mizzen mast. This design allowed for efficient sailing and maneuverability, particularly in varying wind conditions. The ship was designed as a clipper, emphasizing speed and performance during its voyages.

The Cutty Sark is well know in the western world. When I was a kid there was an alcohol bottle with the Cutty Sark on it. I don't know if that is around any more. Many boys and men built models of that grand ship.

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.
