Cutty Sark, London
The Cutty Sark rests over by Greenwich park. Launched in 1869, it was the fastest clipper ship of it's day, ferrying tea from China and wool from Australia. Replaced by steam ships that used the Suez Canal, it fell into disuse, changing owners before ending up here and being opened to the public in 1954.
