Cutty Sark Ship In a Bottle 5.5" Product Code: nt2995

The cutty sark, ship in a bottle, lets you see the worlds last intact clipper ship, which is now preserved in a spectacular dry dock at Greenwich London, a beautiful lean, long ship built in 1869 for the tea trade but made redundant by the completion of the Suez Canal which made steam ships more economic. Instead she earned her living, and incredible reputation for speed, in the long distance wool trade from Australia. To celebrate the 150th anniversary of her launch, we have produced these ships in bottles. Handmade in the traditional manner, they feature wooden hulls, cotton sails and rigging, and a rope-bound stopper.
