Build your 1:84 scale wooden model of the Cutty Sark, legendary tea clipper. The model has a construction system by means of false keel and frames, so the assembly of the replica approaches the construction of the real clipper.
Launched in Dumbarton, Scotland in 1869, Cutty Sark was dedicated in its early years to the tea race, attempting to unite China and London in the shortest possible time during eight tea seasons. In the same year of its launch, the Suez Canal was opened, which made the route much shorter and advantageous to steamers. Later, Cutty Sark was dedicated to the trade of wool from Australia, being the fastest boat on these routes during a decade. It would also be used to transport goods between Porto, Rio de Janeiro, New Orleans, Lisbon and the Portuguese colonies. Finally, in 1954 it was transferred to dry dock and became a museum ship, now preserved in Greenwich, United Kingdom.
