EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the historic moment when the iconic tea clipper Cutty Sark, with its majestic sails fully unfurled, passes by the Cimba as it navigates the tranquil waters of Greenwich on August 1st, 2007. The Cutty Sark, a symbol of maritime history and trade, was undergoing restoration in the dry dock at the time, having suffered significant damage during the process on May 21st, 2007. The image showcases the ship's impressive rigging and the intricate details of its wooden hull, transporting us back in time to the late 1800s when the Cutty Sark was a key player in the global tea trade. The ocean backdrop adds to the serene ambiance of the scene, making it a must-have for any history or maritime enthusiast's collection." "The Cutty Sark, built in 1869, was a British sailing ship that held the record for the fastest passage from China to London with tea cargo for over a decade. Its sleek design and advanced rigging allowed it to outmaneuver other ships and make the journey more efficiently. However, the restoration process proved to be a challenging one, with the ship sustaining damage during the lifting process in the dry dock. Despite the setbacks, the Cutty Sark remains an enduring symbol of the rich maritime history of Greenwich and the world." "This photograph, with its stunning composition and historical significance, is a testament to the enduring allure of the sea and the ships that have sailed its waters for centuries. It is a reminder of the important role that ships like the Cutty Sark played in the global trade network and the impact they had on the world's history." "This image is available for purchase as a print from Mary Evans Prints Online. It is a unique and captivating addition to any collection, bringing a piece of maritime history into your home or office.
