The Cutty Sark, a famous clipper ship, was known for its impressive speed, achieving maximum speeds of up to 17 knots (about 20 miles per hour or 32 kilometers per hour) under ideal conditions. This made it one of the fastest ships of its time, particularly in the tea trade during the 19th century. Its design and rigging allowed it to excel in favorable winds, contributing to its reputation as a swift sailing vessel.
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 reconstruction of the Cutty Sark, following the fire in 2007, cost approximately £50 million. The project involved extensive restoration work and modernization to ensure it could be preserved for future generations. The funds were sourced from various avenues, including public donations, grants, and contributions from organizations. The restored ship was reopened to the public in 2012 as part of a larger maritime heritage project.
