Trade Focus
The Cutty Sark was primarily designed to transport tea from China to England as quickly as possible, competing in the 'tea races'.
Launch Year
The Cutty Sark was launched in 1869 from Dumbarton, Scotland, not England, but it became a famous landmark in Greenwich, England.
Later Cargo
After the tea trade declined, the Cutty Sark became a wool clipper, transporting wool from Australia to England.

The Cutty Sark is now a museum ship in Greenwich, London, allowing visitors to explore its history and construction.
