Taken on a day trip to London on 25th August 2012 using a Panasonic HDC-TM900 and a Fujifilm HS20. The Cutty Sark is a Scottish clipper ship. Built on the Clyde in 1869 for the Jock Willis shipping line, Other Historic Ships on my Channel HMS Victory ; http://youtu.be/kTUz6nUgvIk HMS Warrior 1860; http://youtu.be/Gu7mhremr3I HMS Trincomalee; http://youtu.be/sFiWdEBLfyE HMS Belfast; http://youtu.be/RqAfBIwkSkc Chatham Historic Dockyard; http://youtu.be/QXMGKWMh-Po Royal Navy Submarine Museum; http://youtu.be/ZiBASCWdvlk she was one of the last tea clippers to be built and one of the fastest, coming at the end of a long period of design development which halted as sailing ships gave way to steam propulsion. The opening of the Suez Canal (also in 1869) meant that steam ships now had a much shorter route to China, so Cutty Sark spent only a few years on the tea trade before turning to the trade in wool from Australia, where she held the record time to Britain for ten years. Improvements in steam technology meant that gradually steamships also came to dominate the longer sailing route to Australia and the ship was sold to the Portuguese company Ferreira and Co. in 1895, and renamed Ferreira. She continued as a cargo ship until purchased by retired sea captain Wilfred Dowman in 1922, who used her as a training ship operating from Falmouth, Cornwall. After his death she was transferred to the Thames Nautical Training College, Greenhithe in 1938 where she became an auxiliary cadet training ship alongside HMS Worcester. By 1954 she had ceased to be useful as a cadet ship and was transferred to permanent dry dock at Greenwich, London on public display
