“Cutty Sark”

Artesania – “Cutty Sark”
The Tea Clipper “Cutty Sark” was built in 1869 at Dumbarton, Scotland.
Length 85.34m, Breadth 10.97m, Draught 6.4m, Displacement 2,133 tons.
She was destined for the China tea trade.
In the end, clippers lost out to steamships that could pass through the recently opened Suez Canal and deliver goods more reliably.
Used for the Australian wool trade and sold in 1895 to a Portuguese company, returning to the UK in 1923.
In 1954, “Cutty Sark” was restored and moved to a custom-built dry-dock and displayed at Greenwich, London.

Construction is by false keel and frames, and the kit contains precision laser cut sheet timber parts, hardwoods, brass & cast metal fittings, etc.
Complete full colour step-by-step guide in 7 languages, also drawings of the completed ship, both of them on DVD.
NOTE: The kit does not include printed instructions.
