The Cutty Sark, the boat, not the whisky (No "e" in "whisky" in scotch.) The Cutty Sark was one of many clipper ships plying the China Seas from the mid-19th century . By the 1920s, the Cutty Sark was the only one left. Now berthed in a dry dock in Greenwich and fully refurbished, she is available to the public for close examination.
