207 photos of Tea Clipper

Cutty Sark is the world's only surviving tea clipper. She is an impressive sight, with three incredibly tall masts, a great deal of rigging and hundreds of boxes once used to transport tea below the decks.

Cutty Sark was built in 1869 for John Willis, who strived to build a ship that could outrun all the best clippers on the China tea run. In the end, clippers lost out to steamships that could pass through the recently opened Suez Canal and deliver goods more reliably.

In 1954, Cutty Sark was restored and moved to a custom-built dry-dock and put on public display at Greenwich, London.

The exceptional elegance and beauty of her line, allied to her incredible speed and wealth of details, have contributed to the unique legend of Cutty Sark.
