Cutty Sark

[tasman763]

The Sark was sold to Portuguese interests in 1895, and sailed until 1922. She was purchased by capt Dowman ( retired tall ship skipper ) and refurbished to original specification, and donated to the Thames Nautical Training College by his widow.

This may NOT be The Cutty Sark, but it is great footage all the same. many thanks

i think the cutty sark is only 1 of 3 18th century clippers left in the world and definitely in the best condition of the 3 the other 2( the ambassador) lying in a decade state in south america and( the carrick or city of adelaide) whichever name you prefer is also in dry dock in a sorry state in scotland it is awaits to be shipped to australia for refurbishment it is also the oldest of the 3 clippers anyway good post

Thanks for posting this

This is definitely NOT film taken on the Cutty Sark as none exists. She last sailed from Australia in 1895. This footage was most likely made in the 1930's.

Great video of a 'four poster' twentieth century sailing ship, (built 1890-1914ish)

After my own heart!

[MrsDalgonar]

Grafophone is right - this is not the Cutty Sark. I'm not so sure it's the Peking either(I'm really familiar with Irving Johnson's great footage shot aboard Peking), but it's obviously a later ship than Cutty Sark, with an iron or steel hull and with four masts (Cutty Sark only has three).

My father sailed on the Cutty from the medway towns,where she was used as a traning ship, to Greenwich in the early 1950's

Beautiful video and beautiful ship Thank you. Greetings from Polish

You could well be right. I recorded this off the TV, ABC, (Australia) and I thought the narrator called her Cutty Sark, but maybe I got that wrong. So thanks for the correction. Do you know where to see those photos?

[grafophone]

That is not Cutty Sark, but Tall Ship PEKING. Only photographs where taken on Cutty Sark by Captain Richard Woodget, a great captain, and amateur photographer, from 1885 to 1895.

Thank you for sharing this spectacular video. I don't know where you got it but it is a great piece of history.

I visited the Cutty Sark when we pulled into port in Portsmouth and we went up to the Naval College and Museum. She must have looked magnificent when she was underway with all her sails made out. She is a piece of art work that will never be duplicated again and she represents an era long gone, but not forgotten.

Whether that is her in the film or not it was great to watch it.

Why...why I am living in the modern century. I want to go there...the Ships and Sailors era...the century of freedom and salt sea...why?

[Submarinervideos]

I agree.

[pawiley]

@Synsteak who knows? it's admirable, but freedom is hardly the word. most sailing was forced labor, and those who chose the route regretted it. even these days, upon a live-aboard vessel, as opposed to weekend sailing, one is always at work, and one must truly love the sea, its hardships and the sternness of adventure and the miseries that go along with it to really enjoy sailing the high seas. like roughnecking on oil rigs, the only true joy is surviving and having done a damn good, hard job

[Synsteak]

I watched this again thanks to you, pawiley. You know, yeah, maybe you are right. It's a hard work, but meh, isn't life a hard thing by itself? It's just choosing your way. You can find anything hard and bad in your work but only the one who can find a good thing, truly loves it. I'm going to become a sailor myself sometime... now going to the sea school, and I truly love it. Of course today is not like that time but still...Oh, and what's the song?...

[jibemorel]

Here are real ships and sailors...

I was born too late

[torturinghardhats]

but i bet u didnt realise the blokes working hard restoring it are getting ripped off

[sdotkip]

Imperssive though it is, this isn't actually footage of the Cutty Sark at sea. This stuff was shot by Alan Villiers, probably for the Cape Horn Road film, clips of which you can see elsewhere on Youtube. It does give an accurate impression of what life would've been like aboard Cutty Sark during her wool trade days, though, which ended in 1895.

[cuttysark552]

wow its a real ship. my dad made a lamp out of a bottle of cuttysark scotch whiskey. i keep it in my room

[jonny7england]

Thankyou very much for sharing this footage with us..It was very heartening to see the old girl's sails full and decks awash..any idea who her master was here??..her cargo was probably wool..it was great to see her..thanks!!

[CHEEKYB0Y]

Cheers

[maxcolor64]

[furrystoat]

Thank you so much for posting this spectacular footage!

Truly awe-inspiring, both of the ship and of the men who sailed her.

[CHEEKYB0Y]

Thanks, really glad you liked it. I thought it was worth sharing.
