The Cutty Sark

Apparently they think that her steel frame is intact, and as someone pointed out, much of the ship's parts had been removed while she was being renovated, but it's still a real shame. I'm gutted about this, she's a real beauty.

There is actually an older surviving clipper 'City of Adelaide' in Glasgow

Yes, but they are considering dismantleing it because of failed renovation work IIRC

Aaaah, so the Sark was hit by a torpedo from that whale who went up the Thames last year....I've heard of a slow running torp but that's crazy.

Last I heard was they were struggling to raise the £5 million needed.

nice try but the cutty is a T clipper the city of adelaide isnt

Check the facts....both ships were/are 'clippers'

The 'T' bit is only a reference to the cargo the Cutty Sark carried

It is a shame such a fine ship caught fire. If it is arson I hope they drown him. I had a half finished model of the Cutty Sark I started years ago. I never did finish it and when I was interested in starting it again I couldn't find it.

omg, I really hope they do catch the ******* who did this (if it is arson) although apparently the trust has promised to restore her however bad the damage.
