Cutty Sark at Greenwich London 2005

[ftm1973ftm]

City of Adelaide is the oldest preserved clipper, it's about to be dumped at sea for the sake of £1m by Historic Ships to leave the way clear for the Cutty Sark to take the glory.

[kirkconway]

Weve got star of india, and eagle,

but nothing like the sark.

[chanhien9]

[Luccasio1]

I was there, very nice place

[tankboy584]

Hi i have a very old unbuilt cutty sark model in very good condition in my possession it is 27.5 inches from bow to stern plus all pieces are in tact as far as i can tell. How much would it be worth?

[hoppy82]

@tankboy584 Sorry but I have not got a clue as to what it might be worth, all I can say is to take it to an antique shop and have it valued.

[tankboy584]

@hoppy82 thank you very much

[megatwingo]

Very nice ship. When was it build?

[hoppy82]

@megatwingo It was built in 1869 and was the last Clipper class to be used as a merchant vessel.

[megatwingo]

@hoppy82

Thanks for those informations!

[jesiony1]

whether the Cutty Sark after the fire has already been repaired?

[CookieSherbert]

The poor Cutty Sark, I have memories on her, but then a couple of years ago she burnt down =(...

[vne1981]

@CookieSherbert Not so thankfully. She was already stripped down when the fire started. All of the rigging and decks had already been removed and moved elsewhere for restoration. She will re-open in 2011.

[CookieSherbert]

:O Really?! Good to know that she'll be standing again soon :)

[fidel210]

omfg this brings back memorys i moved from london time ago and the only thing i can memba whr i lived was this !!!!

[llanito6969]

this is fukin shitttttt who ever likes this shitttt have the balls to face me im gonna kill youuuuuuuu

[rimfa123]

mature. Learn to spell...idiot

[machfron]

I meant carried opium.

[rudeydudey05]

As far as i'm aware she was used in the tea trade, then moving wool in the Australian wool trade then sold off to the Portuguese.

I hope she is restored.

[machfron]

Let's have a moment of silence for the victims

of the infamous opium trade and the opium wars.Cutty Sark was designed and built for the opium trade.

[sdotkip]

no it wasn't, it was built for the tea trade.

[machfron]

Read up a bit about the history of the opium trade.

[sdotkip]

what's your point? The Cutty Sark never carried opium.

[machfron]

That is a falsehood.Cutty Sark definitely carries opium.

[Celticswynd]

Wether she carried tea or opium it dosn't really matter. Opium was at one time legal.

[machfron]

It wasn't legal in China.Opium was yet another hideous colonial crime.

[worthlessdollar1]

Shame about the miserable video quality :[

[jonny7england]

The Cutty Sark is a part of our history and I am glad that she will be restored..

[DrMasopic]

Massive! Enormous! Huge! It is sad to think of such a peice of history going up in flames! It is a priceless antiquity. You can build a replica, but it will never be an original such as the Cutty Sark. The salty tales her timbers could tell!

[nirsul]

been there in 1979 and 1998 - so sad !

[beckyuk2001]

Thanks for adding this, the time i got to see it, it was burned to a crisp : (

[jackspanner]

whats the point of spending millions restoring this worthless piece of firewood its not going to sail again and carry goods across the ocean , would not the money be worth spending on more worthy needs like the starving and homeless.

[FoxRS]

you are an iddiot!

[DrMasopic]

i-d-i-o-t has but one d in it matey.

[BlackstarY2K]

Why is he an iddiot ?

explain your self.

It's the truth what he said

[cyclist1958]

Typo error. I meant Cutty Sark of course

[cyclist1958]

A great tragedy but Curry Sark will be restored.

[jogamatudo]

do you guys think my cutty sark model will worth more after this? anyone, any economist?? Less supply, same demand... Money comes in! Oh btw sorry for the tragedy...

[TheSecretVoice]

Very Sad! I live near the cutty Sark.. i've been on it a few times, and seeing it burnt down is a Tragady. I hope they do what they say they will, and restore it. Quite alot of pieces including the artifacts, on the ship was removed for renovation or something before this, so at least their safe. Lovely ship- Thanks for having this up.

[cartrain]

£25 million pound referb up in flames

[tutor4011]

look guys im told 50% of the ship wasnt attached it was elsewhere being renovated so the lads will have it back to normal in no time. lets not worry hey.

[xtremeGreen]

i meant plum in a good way coz they are tasty and makes you want to comment hih.

[xtremeGreen]

why would muslims set it on fire? you must be a bit of a clown! or probably a muslim did set on fire if he new that boat was used for slavery then yea i would have helped him or her. is it possibale that the ship wasnt immortal like you think your lifes are coz you all ship sink in the end just like your misrable life full of arrogance and pride and think you are right how low can you go.maybe it was who done it then look to blame the muslims like the plum that you are

[DrRClavan]

Muslims set it on fire.

[dikkelul5bier]

Topgrap. Haha

[bakabana1966]

how sad The Cutty Sark burned to death,

but on the poop was written: WHERE A WILL IS IS A WAY,

hope the Cutty Sark will be rebuild

[linusson]

[skunk999]

[MediaStarz]
