Cutty Sark Greenwich, a green district of South East London, is famous for two things: for giving its name to the Greenwich Meridian and Greenwich Mean Time and for its maritime history. The National Maritime Museum, telling the history of British ships, is situated there. The famous tea clipper , a sailing ship from the 1800s named the Cutty Sark, is kept in Greenwich in a dry dock by the river. The ship is open to the public. The Cutty Sark was built in 1869 in Scotland, for John Willis, a suecessful London tea merchant. At that time, she was one of the fastest clipper ships ever built. The ship was named after Cutty Sark, the nickname of the witch Nannie Dee in Robert Burns' poem "Tam o' Shanter". The Cutty Sark was active for only 7 years and made just 8 round-trip voyages to China. Why such a short career as a tea clipper? Unfortunately for John Willis, in 1869 the Suez Canal was opened and steam ships started widely using it. Steam ships could pass through the canal, whereas clipper ships like Cutty Sark could not. That meant that steam ships could cut thousands of miles off the route and reached China much faster. So most tea merchants preferred steam ships to sailing ships. While the Cutty Sark's career in the tea trade wasn't very successful, her next career in the Australian wool trade was outstanding. From 1883-95 the ship made the Australian run, bringing wool exports back to London. The Cutty Sark dominated the wool trade for more than 10 years, earning a reputation for high speed on the two-month voyage. But again, the steam ships spoiled the Cutty Sark's career, making the Australian wool trade their own. The Cutty Sark was sold to a Portuguese company. She was renamed Ferreira and from 1895 to 1922 she carried cargo between Portugal and the distant corners of the Portuguese Empire. In 1922 Ferreira was put into Falmouth to repair damage which she had received in a windstorm. A retired sea captain, Wilfred Dowman, saw the ship and decided
