Historical Background

Cutty Sark was built in 1869 in Dumbarton for the intensely competitive China–London tea trade. Clippers like Cutty Sark raced across the globe to deliver the first teas of the season, until steamships and the Suez Canal tipped the balance with more reliable delivery. The vessel later found success in the Australian wool trade, before being sold in 1895 to a Portuguese company. Returning to the UK in 1923, Cutty Sark was restored and, in 1954, moved to a dry dock in Greenwich, where she stands as a celebrated maritime icon.
