Description: Step aboard one of history's most celebrated sailing vessels and trace the remarkable journey of the Cutty Sark from her launch as a purpose-built racing clipper to her enduring status as a global maritime icon. This richly detailed account follows the ship through her fiercely competitive years in the China tea trade, her record-setting wool runs from Australia, and her later chapters under Portuguese ownership and as a Thames training vessel. Along the way, readers explore her painstaking restoration, her life as a preserved landmark today, and the technical brilliance that made her a legend of the age of sail. A must-read for anyone captivated by ships, seafaring history, and the golden era of the clippers.
