Cutty Sark Ship in a Bottle 11" History - Why Cutty Sark Matters: • She is the epitome of the great age of sail • She is the only surviving extreme clipper, and the only tea clipper still in existence. • Most of her hull fabric survives from her original construction and she is the best example of a merchant composite construction vessel. • She has captured the imagination of millions of people, 15 million of whom have come on board to learn the stories she has to tell. • She was preserved in Greenwich partly as a memorial to the men of the merchant navy, particularly those who lost their lives in the world wars. • She is one of the great sights of London. • She is the world’s sole surviving extreme clipper, a type of vessel that was the highest development of the fast commercial sailing ship, with the majority of her hull fabric surviving from her original construction. • She is internationally appreciated for her beauty and is one of the most famous ships in the world. • Her fine lines – a considerable part of her appeal – are defined by her frames which form part of the vessel’s composite construction; a construction technique of which she is the best surviving example and of which she is of exceptional quality. • She is a gateway to the World Heritage Site at Greenwich and is a key asset to both the World Heritage Site and the Borough of Greenwich. • As a tea clipper, she is tangible evidence of the importance of tea in 19th century trade and cultural life.
