Product Info
All aboard Cutty Sark, one of the last tea clippers. Built in 1869, this ship traversed the seas from UK to China for tea, then to Australia for wool, and even survived a hurricane in 1906. Part of the National Historic Fleet, it is one of the three remaining ships constructed with a wooden hull on an iron frame from the 19th century. Walk the ship's main deck, take in stunning views across the Thames River, and explore the surrounding areas at Maritime Greenwich, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

FAQ
The Cutty Sark is globally renowned as the world's sole surviving extreme clipper ship. It represents the pinnacle of sailing ship design and engineering, built for speed in the lucrative tea trade. Its remarkable voyages and record-breaking speeds symbolize an era of maritime innovation and global commerce, making it a powerful testament to Britain's shipbuilding heritage and an icon of the Age of Sail.
The Cutty Sark was primarily built for the fast transportation of tea from China to London, a highly competitive and profitable trade. After the tea trade declined with the advent of steamships, it transitioned to carrying wool from Australia, a less perishable but still valuable cargo, where its speed also proved advantageous. It later carried general cargo before becoming a training ship and then a museum ship.
A standard ticket grants access to explore the entire ship, from stepping aboard the main deck to descending into the dry berth beneath its hull. Visitors can walk underneath the ship, touch its original timbers, and see the copper sheathing. It also includes access to the exhibits detailing the ship's history, its crew, and its voyages, offering an immersive journey through over 150 years of seafaring.
Most visitors find that 1.5 to 2 hours is an ideal amount of time to thoroughly explore the Cutty Sark. This allows ample time to walk the decks, explore the cabins, delve into the interactive exhibits in the dry berth, and take photographs. For those who wish to spend more time absorbing the atmosphere and details, a longer visit is certainly possible.
The Cutty Sark is conveniently located in Greenwich, London. The easiest way to reach it is by taking the Docklands Light Railway (DLR) directly to Cutty Sark for Maritime Greenwich station. Alternatively, you can take a scenic riverboat service to Greenwich Pier, which docks very close to the ship, or use local bus services that stop nearby.
Yes, Cutty Sark DLR station is designed to be accessible. It features lifts providing step-free access from the platform to the street level, making it convenient for visitors using wheelchairs, pushchairs, or those with other mobility requirements. This ensures a comfortable and inclusive journey to and from the historic ship for everyone.
The name 'Cutty Sark' comes from Robert Burns' famous 1791 poem 'Tam O'Shanter.' It refers to a short shift or undergarment worn by the witch Nannie in the poem. The figurehead on the ship's bow depicts Nannie wearing this very garment, linking the ship to the speed and mythical chase described in the Scottish poem and inspiring its legendary status.
