Altre informazioni:
The Cutty Sark was one of the last tea clippers built on the Clyde in 1869. The ship's name comes from the nickname of the witch Nannie Dee in Robert Burns' poem Tam o' Shanter. The vessel was moved to a custom-built dry-dock at Greenwich in 1954, where she was restored and became a poular tourist attraction. In May 2007 she was damaged by a serious fire and after restoration was reopened to the public in April 2012. The restoration work has been criticised by The Victorian Society who claim that the needs of the corporate hospitality market have been put above the preservation of the historic fabric. Building Design magazine awarded the restoration its Carbuncle Cup for the worst new building of 2012.
