Limited Edition Cutty Sark Model
£279.00
1869 Cutty Sark Model, £279.00
***Limited edition series of 1869***
This beautiful wood-planked, hollow-hulled model depicts Cutty Sark under full sail, and is mounted on a section of timber decking that was removed from the ship during her current restoration (the main deck is to be replaced in its entirety). The spars and rigging are amazingly detailed, with 21 sails in total, whilst the deck has lots of features including shore boats, hatches and pin rails. Her bottom has a realistic Muntz plating effect. Cutty Sark has been preserved in dry dock at Greenwich since 1954, but by 2007 had started to become dangerously weak. A massive restoration plan, and finance, had been agreed but then tragedy struck - the mystery fire of 21 May 2007. Fortunately a great deal of material had already been removed for the works, so the damage is not as bad as it might have been, but the cost to get her back to how she should be will undoubtedly rise.
Measurements: length 18", height 12", width 6".
Each base is individually numbered with its position in the limited edition series of 1869.
When you purchase this Cutty Sark model £20 will be forwarded the Cutty Restoration Fund.
