Cutty Sark is the fastest sailing ship in the history of sailing in the world. It is called "Tailwind Whiskey", which represents the peak of sailing construction technology and the end of the sailing era. It was built in Scotland in 1869. Now it's a tourist attraction in London, visited by thousands every year to relive the historic days of gigantic sailing ships. The twists and turns of the ship Cutty Sark (also known as "Short Shirt", "Christiek", etc.) is a 19th century tea transport ship and the only remaining tea ship in the world, with a length of 64.7 meters . The Cutty Sark traveled between China and Britain from 1870 to 1878 as an ocean-going vehicle for the tea trade. Afterwards, he traveled to Australia to trade in wool. On May 21, 2007, the precious ancient sailing ship was destroyed by fire. After five years, the restoration was completed and it was reopened to the public on April 26, 2012. The ship's name and romantic epic poem The ship's name comes from "Tamo' Shanter" by the Scottish poet Robert Berns, who wrote the acclaimed "A Friendship Is Lasting". This is a long romantic and humorous narrative poem. It tells the story of a good-for-nothing Tom who forgot his wife's advice. When he returned from the market drunk, he met a large gathering of ghosts and saw the female ghost Nanny. Nanny's nickname is CuttySark, which means short vest in Scots, and what she was wearing at the time was the short vest her family spent two pounds to buy when she was a girl. Nanny danced wildly, making Tom's heart shake, and he couldn't help but shout out the phrase "Weeldone, Cutty-sark!" nanny. Fortunately, his mount, Maggie, ran as fast as he could, bringing Tom to the bridge of the river at the cost of a tail, and the river stopped the demons. The early head of the Cutty Sark is Nanny wearing a short vest and bare back, and Maggie, who runs faster, can also be found on board.
We arrived at 4pm and only had an hour to visit this awesome tea sailing boat, but it was worth every penny. Also enjoy watching the video on deck. There is a lot to say, but ... go and see/explore it!
The Katisaq was almost destroyed by the fire and the restoration was great, making it back to the sky. The sailing boat looks new and although there is not much space here, the explanations are very clear. It was not comfortable to stay on board, the sailing was about 20 miles per hour, and the kartisack was displayed in front of the head, showing the craftsmen's exquisite skills.
After disembarking from the dock, the first thing to see is the Katisaker. It is the fastest sailing ship in the history of the world sailing, representing the pinnacle of sailing technology. There are some introductions to the tea trade in the cabin.
This is a maritime museum in Greenwich, London.Knowing the history of this magnificent ship amazed me.One of the fastest if not the fastest during its time.16pounds/person for 2-hour visit.
The big signature when you go up from DLR station at the location of University of Greenwich.
Not much introduction and exhibition, which cannot attract me to stay this place a long time
