Cutty Sark

This magnificently preserved Victorian clipper ship once raced across the world's oceans to bring tea from China to London, and you can now step aboard to experience the cramped quarters and remarkable craftsmanship of 19th-century seafaring. The surrounding Greenwich waterfront offers stunning Thames views, and the ship's interactive exhibits bring to life the adventures of the sailors who worked these historic waters. After major restoration, the gleaming vessel sits proudly in her dry dock as a testament to the golden age of sail.
