Cutty Sark devastated in blaze
May 21, 2007
Fire today ravaged the Cutty Sark, turning the 19th century tea clipper, permanently moored in south London and one of Britain’s most important maritime treasures, into a blackened wreck. Despite the apparent damage, however, experts who have been leading a broad restoration project on the 138-year-old ship said an initial inspection indicated a section of its structure remained intact and it could perhaps be restored.
