The Cutty Sark is a tea clipper that was built in 1869 in Dumbarton, Scotland. The ship acquired great fame with the races against it’s great rival, the Thermopylae, and other tea clippers.

Like many other ships of that time, construction of the Cutty Sark entailed a wrought iron frame with a cladding of wooden planking. The ship is 85.4 m long, 11 m wide and weighs almost 836 tons. The ship was built by the company Scott & Linton for Captain John "White Hat" Willis. The scope of construction was so heavy that it bankrupted the shipyard and the Cutty Sark was eventually completed at another shipyard. The Cutty Sark is built with the finest materials, and thus has been very well preserved. The ship was launched on 22 November 1869.

The ship completed its maiden voyage in 69 days. All the subsequent trips were completed within 75 to 80 days. Their major competitor, the Thermopylae, succeeded in doing this only once. It is generally assumed that the Thermopylae was slightly faster but that it was the greater skill of the master of the Cutty Sark that allowed the ship to win the tea race time and time again (almost), albeit sometimes with a narrow difference of only a few hours.

This handmade sailing ship is made out of wood. It has been finished in great detail and deserves a prominent place in your home. Please take a good look at the detailed photos to get a proper impression of the lot. The model is in the original packaging.
