Lesson 25-1 TheCutty Sark

One of the mostfamous sailing ships of the nineteenth century, the Cutty Sark, can still beseen at Greenwich. She stands on dry land and is visited by thousands of peopleeach year. She serves as an impressive reminder of the great ships of the past.

Before they werereplaced by steamships, sailing vessels like the Cutty Sark were used to carrytea from China and wool from Australia. The Cutty Sark was one of the fastestsailing ships that has ever been built. The only other ship to match her wasthe Thermopylae. Both these ships set out from Shanghai on June 18th, 1872 onan exciting race to England. This race, which went on for exactly four months,was the last of its kind. It marked the end of the great tradition of shipswith sails and the beginning of a new era.

The first of thetwo ships to reach Java after the race had begun was the Thermopylae, but onthe Indian Ocean, the Cutty Sark took the lead. It seemed certain that shewould be the first ship home, but during the race she had a lot of bad luck.
