The Cutty Sark tea clipper has been in Greenwich, London, since 1954, when it was moved there from its original location in dry dock at Millwall. The ship is one of the last surviving tea clippers and was built in 1869 in Dumbarton, Scotland. It was designed for speed to transport tea from China to Britain.

The Cutty Sark had a remarkable career, making numerous voyages and even earning the title of the fastest ship of its time. However, by the early 20th century, with the advent of steamships, its commercial value diminished, and it was eventually retired from active service.

In 1954, it was opened to the public as a museum ship and has since become a significant maritime attraction, showcasing its history and the era of tea trading. The ship underwent extensive restoration and a major refurbishment project was completed in 2012, allowing visitors to experience the vessel in a new way, including walking beneath the hull and exploring interactive exhibits. Today, it stands as a testament to Britain's maritime heritage and the Age of Sail.
