Discover what life was like on board the legendary sailing ship Cutty Sark, the world’s sole surviving tea clipper, and fastest ship of her time – now an award-winning visitor attraction.
Built in 1869 to carry tea back from China, Cutty Sark visited nearly every major port in the world and gained fame for her record-breaking passages. Delve into the adventures of this iconic ship and her crew in an immersive experience that brings her fascinating history to life.
Follow the footsteps of those who sailed her, explore interactive displays that evoke the sights, smells and sounds of life at sea, sample a Cutty Sark-inspired cup of tea under the ship, enjoy sweeping views of the Thames, and walk directly underneath the ship’s gleaming hull to touch a piece of world history.
