EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print captures the majestic tea clipper Cutty Sark under anchor, a historic vessel with a storied past. The image was taken in May 2007 while the ship was undergoing restoration in dry dock in Greenwich, London. Unfortunately, this restoration process took a tragic turn when the ship was badly damaged by fire.
The Cutty Sark is seen here with its impressive rigging and masts towering above the water, showcasing its status as a renowned merchantman of the seas. Its sleek design and intricate details speak to a bygone era of maritime transport and trade.
Despite being built in 1869, this iconic ship has stood the test of time and remains an important piece of history for both naval enthusiasts and casual observers alike. The damage caused by the fire in 2007 serves as a reminder of the fragility of these historical treasures and underscores the importance of preservation efforts.
As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to a time when ships like Cutty Sark ruled the waves, carrying precious cargo across vast distances. It is truly a sight to behold and serves as a poignant reminder of our rich maritime heritage.
