Probably the most famous of the Tea clippers, it is named after the lead character in the Robert Burns poem, currently in dry dock in Greenwich.

Cutty Sark is a British clipper ship. Built on the River Clyde in 1869 for the Jock Willis Shipping Line, she was one of the last tea clippers to be built and one of the fastest, coming at the end of a long period of design development, which halted as sailing ships gave way to steam propulsion.
