The Cutty Sark
A preserved tea and wool clipper built in 1869 which set the record for passage from Australia under sail. The ship was damaged by fire on 21 May 2007, but much of the ship's structure and rigging had already been removed as a conservation and renovation project had been underway since 2006. The site reopened in 2012 with changes to the display of the ship including raising the entire vessel so that now visitors can walk underneath.
Why it is worth a visit
The last surviving tea clipper, raised in dry dock in Greenwich so visitors can walk beneath its hull.
