The Cutty Sark is the only surviving tea clipper in the world; she
was launched in 1869 and traveled between Britain and the Orient.
She was built by John "White Hat" Wills, who wanted the
ship to be the fastest clipper supplying tea from china, she broke
the world sailing record by completing the trip in only 107 days.
You can tour all around the ship, visit the cramped accommodation
of the 28 crew and the ship's teak lined Master's Saloon, and view
the collection of original figureheads from shipwrecks.
