VIA: Royal Museums Greenwich. Shortly after midnight on 15 February 1870, a new and unknown cargo ship sailed from London on her maiden voyage. Bound for China, no one could have guessed that that ship - Cutty Sark - would one day be the sole surviving clipper ship in the world: LINK

Cutty Sark was placed in Greenwich as a memorial to the Merchant Navy, particularly those who lost their lives in the two world wars. The sacrifice of the Merchant Marine for their country is still little known. LINK
