stands on dry land and is visited by thousands of people
/stændz/ /ɒn/ /draɪ/ /lænd/ /ænd/ /ɪz/ /ˈvɪzɪtɪd/ /baɪ/ /ˈθaʊzəndz/ /ɒv/ /ˈpiːpl/
each year. She serves as an impressive reminder of the great

ships of past.
/ʃɪps/ /ɒv/ /pɑːst./
Before they were replaced by steamships, sailing vessels like
/bɪˈfɔː/ /ðeɪ/ /wɜː/ /rɪˈpleɪst/ /baɪ/ /ˈstiːmʃɪps,/ /ˈseɪlɪŋ/ /ˈvɛslz/ /laɪk/
the Cutty Sark were used to carry tea from China and wool

This race, which went on for exactly four
