Background information
The Cutty Sark, once a fast tea and wool clipper, can now be admired as a museum ship in London and tells the story of maritime trade in the 19th century. As one of the last tea clippers, she became famous for her speed and loading capacity and played an important role in the tea trade between China and Great Britain. This model kit honors the legacy of the Cutty Sark and offers maritime history enthusiasts the opportunity to bring a piece of maritime history into their own four walls.
