Small Ship Models

Gleaming solid ebony and hand-carved railings can only begin to describe the artisan craftsmanship of the Cutty Sark ship model. And, though the real Cutty Sark sits dry-docked at Greenwich, London, sailors and model ship enthusiasts alike can have a miniature copy of the shift to admire in the comfort of their own home.Built in Dumbarton, Scotland, in 1869 the Cutty Sark spent four years engaged in the China Tea Trade. For the next 20 years the water-worthy vessel sailed between England and Australia. Her career next took her to serve under the Portuguese flag for 25 years.

The Cutty Sark now belongs to the Tames Nautical Training College, but her legacy is brought to life through the miniature model bearing her name.
