Model ship - Cutty Sark

Model of the clipper ship "Cutty Sark", one of the most iconic sailing ships in the world and a lasting symbol of Britain's maritime heritage. Launched in 1869, it was built for speed at the height of the great tea races between China and London.

In its early years, it zealously competed to bring the season's first tea to Britain, later becoming a record-setter on the wool trade routes from Australia. After a long and varied career, it was preserved as a museum ship and now stands proudly in Greenwich, London. A masterpiece of marine engineering, it remains a tribute to traditional craftsmanship and the adventurous spirit that defined nineteenth-century ocean trade.
