Cutty Sark

The last clipper

We are currently working on a 3d model of the sailing clipper Cutty Sark.

The Cutty Sark is a clipper ship built in 1869. She served as a merchant vessel (the last clipper to be built for that purpose), and then as a training ship until being put on public display in 1954. She is preserved in dry dock at Greenwich in London, but was damaged in a fire in 2007 while undergoing extensive restoration.

The ship is named after the cutty sark (Scots for a short chemise or undergarment). This was the nickname of the fictional character Nannie (also the name of the ship's figurehead) in Robert Burns' 1791 comic poem Tam o' Shanter.
