Catty Sark/London

Herbert A. Franke - Koblenz, Deutschland/Germany

The Cutty Sark is an English tea and wool clipper. It was completed in 1869 and was one of the fastest sailing ships of its time. She was the last clipper built for maritime trade. In 1954 she was launched in a special dry dock in Greenwich, London, as a museum ship, but burned down in May 2007 almost completely. After the restoration, it was reopened on April 25, 2012. The substructure is covered with a glass roof.
