Constructed on the Clyde in 1869, the Cutty Sark was one of the last tea clippers to be built and one of the fastest. She spent just a few years on the tea routes before the opening of the Suez Canal and the increasing use of steamships made clippers unprofitable on shorter routes. After finishing her time in service as cargo ship, and then a training and cadet ship, she was transferred to permanent dry dock at Greenwich for public display. This pocket manual collates original documents to tell the fascinating story of the Cutty Sark's nautical history.
