When it was built 150 years ago, the Cutty Sark was at the cutting edge of shipbuilding. It was a tea clipper built to take goods to Shanghai to trade for tea to bring back to the UK – it had the capacity to carry 1,305,812 lbs of tea, which would probably have ended up making nearly 300 million cups of tea! The Cutty Sark worked as a trading ship for a number of years but the advent of steam ships made it less useful and it ended up in Portugal. In the early 1920s, it was bought by a retired captain who converted it for use as a training ship. It wasn’t until 1954 that it was towed to Greenwich where it was fully restored and opened to the public.
In 2007 a fire caused extensive damage to three decks, but thanks to the Heritage Lottery Fund, it was restored once more and reopened to the public in 2012.
If you’re planning a trip to Greenwich, it’s not to be missed!
Explore the ship
See every aspect of the ship above and below deck, including what it looks like underneath the hull. There are films and interactive games as well as being able to see – and smell – the type of cargo that would have been carried onboard. You can even take the wheel on deck to try and imagine what it would have been like to be in charge of this ship as it sailed the high seas.
Meet the crew
At weekends and school holidays, you can find out more about life onboard by chatting to the characters who lived onboard. They’ll tell you what daily life was like, describe what was on the menu for dinner, and how they entertained themselves during their voyages.
Explorer trails
For younger children, there are free explorer trails that will take them around the ship at their own pace. It’s a hands-on museum, so they can touch things without being told off, and also take part in activities. For the under 5s, you can borrow a special backpack of toys, sensory objects and stories to keep them entertained.

We invite you to become a member of our volunteer team, building a true copy of the tea clipper, sailing the new ship around the world.
We would like to invite you to join our project of constructing and sailing an exact replica of one of the most famous and perfect sailing ships in the history of the world – the tea clipper “ Cutty Sark ”. We have an ambitious plan – to build and then sail a replica of the clipper with the help and participation of the public.
Become part of the enthusiastic team that lives out the dream to revive the art of traditional sailing, a group that believes in adventure, team spirit and supports this magnificent project.
To promote sail training and tall ship racing. Just as before, when the speed and the rivalry of the clipper ships quickly caught the public’s imagination, we believe that a replica of the Cutty Sark will bring back the glory and media attention to the world of Tall Ship Racing.
To promote environmentally friendly transport on the seas. Delivering her cargo under sail, she was as beautiful as she was fast, the perfect sailing ship of her era. Now she will promote environmentally friendly transport by sea.
To save traditional skills and knowledge for future generations. Cutty Sark is a composite-build ( wood planked on iron frames ) sailing ship and building the replica is a unique way to restore and save traditional skills and knowledge for future generations.
International trade and friendship. The Cutty Sark was a ship of international trade; she has significance in worldwide maritime history, especially in the UK, Portugal, China, Australia and Brazil.
Anniversary of the launching of the original Cutty Sark. The 150th Anniversary of the launching of the original Cutty Sark will occur on 22nd November 2019.
Start of work with volunteer team; Crowdfunding campaign; Developing preliminary draft of ship’s construction; Searching for a construction site; Initial promoting the project to the media and public, creation of project’s website;
Keel-laying ceremony.
Operating 2023 onwards, an interactive museum .
The process of building the Cutty Sark 2 will be open to the public.
Where possible, construction processes will be organised as a “performance” with interactive elements; a venue where everyone can see and touch “living“ history and take part; an excellent forum to arouse the attention of the media to international maritime history.
The ship must not only function as an interactive display but also be suitable for different operational roles – sail-training and cargo transportation.
We’ll create an environment where people will enjoy the teamwork, learning and socializing.
From the start, including identifying the sponsors and patrons, throughout the construction process and up to the launching of the vessel, we want this project to be permanently covered by the media.
We aim to interest various international TV channels to follow us throughout the process. The media will follow us to the rainforests in South Asia to cut the teak for the decks, and to northern America or Canada for oak for the hull. They will be able to see the ship taking shape and follow her launching and first adventures on the high seas!
Schooner “St Peter” (80 feet, 1991)
Frigate “Shtandart” (110 feet, 1999)

The initiators of the project are a group of highly motivated people, knowledgable in building traditional square-rigged ships. Our team has the expertise required when operating in the world of Tall Ships. Specifically in marketing, public relations and logistics.
As the original Cutty Sark was constructed from materials that came from various countries and during her active life she sailed the seven seas, we want this project to be international in all its different aspects. It should also be accessible to people of all nations and all walks of life, and when finished sail the world as an ambassador not of just one country, but as a living proof of unity between people with heart and soul for traditional ships and the seas .

I just moved to Scotland from the San Francisco area, where I lived with my family on a 50 foot Ketch, after living on and maintaining a 105 year old Dutch Clipper in France for two years.
I’ve spent a lot of time at Maritime Museums in San Diego onboard the Star of India and San Francisco on the Balaclutha dreaming of seeing them under a full press of sail. The ship I served on in the U.S. Navy, in Public Affairs, is now a museum in San Diego, and the difference between a living ship and a museum piece is tangible and dramatic.
