The Merchant Navy
Past, present and future
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 too little known and Maurice Lambert’s memorial to the Merchant Navy, previously positioned on the wall of the dry berth, will be displayed more prominently on conclusion of The Cutty Sark Conservation Project.
