Visit Cutty Sark, the celebrated historic sailing ship and fastest of its time. Now an award-winning visitor attraction in Greenwich, London.
Really interesting place if you want to see how it's looks like the life was on a boat. You can see in her original condition this famous ship (after a fire rebuild some parts), which was quicker in her time. This was an excellent opportunity for me to find out more about the see life and the real size of these ships. There is a good quality restaurant, clean and tidy place. Disabled access available, staff helpful and friendly. No parking available.
The must see boat when you're in Greenwich with a beautiful interior design. Lovely glass exterior if you don't want to go inside but I'd suggest you do if you have time.
Great experience to learn on the history of this famous ship. The fastest tall ship of its time could do 300 miles per day. Very good exhibition. Cafe in the basement is great too. Realised they do afternoon tea package. The basement is really sitting by the bottom of the ship with the glass roof on top with sunlight coming in. We became member of the museum too so we can go to planetarium and The Royal observatory. Music and comedy night events are featured here too.
Honestly a really short museum lacking in things to read about. At the entry i had read about oppertunity to climb the ropes but this apparently just didnt exist after i entered. The history of the ships significance is quite non existant , it wasnt the first or last sail clipper built, it wasnt the fastest , it didnt partake in any outstanding events in history, its just the only intact purely sail clipper. But the SS great britain in bristol was used as an emmigrant clipper and has far more detailed rooms onboard as well as a more complete museum on the ship and a museum on the life of Brunel for a similar Price. The SS great britain was also far more historic as one of the first steamships with a propellor rather than paddle wheels. I just find the ship being a clipper doesnt justify the entry Price and the lack of things to do onboard.
PS20 to get in . Very busy, which is a good thing I suppose. Lots of merchandise and memorabilia to purchase . Liked the interactive videos about it's history. Can have a guided tour if you want .
What a better place to visit a ship museum than Greenwich, right next to the old royal naval college. A great way to spend some time learning more about one of Britains most famous ships ever built. Built in Dumbarton, Scotland in 1869 exclusively for the China tea trade and with London to be its home port Cutty Sark is a beautiful vessel and a must see attraction near Greenwich.
