It would be a hard existence, but I would have liked to have been a crew member on the Cutty.
What a magnificent example of a tall ship. Beautiful engineering. Of a different classification was the replica of the HMS Bounty, built for the classic film. It however was taken out to sea in an attempt to escape damage from Hurricane Sandy And was lost forever to the icey waters of the Atlantic. A terribly stupid mistake on the owner's part and a blow to maritime history buffs. It would be a hard existence, but I would have liked to have been a crew member on the Cutty.BC1Jim
A well found ship fears the land much more than the sea.

Thanks Stew, interesting pics. She's a lot bigger than I've always envisioned.Is that a real bloke up in the rigging?
I lived in the Greenwich Palace in 1968 whilst I did my knife and fork course on becoming an Commissioned Officer. Is Chichesters Yacht still there next to Cutty Sark?. Not to mention the Trafalgar Hotel and Watneys Red Barrel just outside the palace gates.
Couple of questions ..Is that copper sheathing on the hull?How's the new boiler coming on ?
