About
Cutty Sark is a British clipper ship built in 1869, now permanently displayed in dry dock at Greenwich, London. Originally used for tea and wool trade, she is one of only three remaining intact composite construction ships from the nineteenth century and is listed as part of the National Historic Fleet.
A proper clipper ship you can walk around. The lower decks show how sailors actually lived—cramped and dark. Best for children aged 6+. The ship's timbers and scale are impressive, though interiors are austere. Combine with Greenwich Park and riverside attractions.
