The Cutty Sark is a clipper ship that was built in 1869 and has been preserved in this dry dock. She served as a merchant vessel and was the last clipper to be built for that purpose. A major fire in May 2007 destroyed a part of the ship and while the Cutty Sark Conservation Project is underway, there’s no access to the ship for the public. But there’s a small souvenir shop adjacent to the conservation site, and here you can view the ship and the conservation work via a large observation window.
