Cutty Sark

[kydocfrog]

The last and possibly fastest of the great tea clippers, Cutty Sark, was seriously damaged by fire in Greenwich. The fire is thought to be of suspicious origin.

Damage is uncertain. She was laid up for major repairs, and all masts, spars, and rigging had been removed and stored. Damage to decks is extensive and damage to frames uncertain. Major reason for her reonnovation was corrosion damage to her iron frames.

Keelhauling would seem appropriate when they catch the *&)*%#*s.
