Cutty Sark (clipper)

The Cutty Sark is a historic British sailing ship built in 1869, renowned for its speed during the age of sail. A clipper ship like the Cutty Sark was designed with sleek, narrow hulls and large sails to maximize velocity, especially for transporting tea, wool, and other goods quickly across oceans. It symbolizes maritime engineering excellence of the 19th century and played a key role in global trade before steam-powered ships took over. Today, it serves as a museum in London, allowing visitors to explore its craftsmanship and maritime history.
