Cutty Sark by Eleanor Blundell

Cutty Sark

From state-of-the-art Victorian tea clipper to one of the world’s most famous ships, Cutty Sark has led a dramatic life.

Cutty Sark was built in Dumbarton in 1869. Cutty Sark’s first voyage departed London on 15 February 1870, bound for Shanghai. On this outward voyage, the ship carried a general cargo, including wine, spirits and beer and manufactured goods. After successfully reaching China on 31 May, the ship was loaded with 1,305,812 lbs of tea. Following only 25 days in port in Shanghai, the ship sped back to London arriving on 13 October the same year.
