Brass
Brass - an alloy of copper and zinc - is easy to work with, can be polished to a gleaming shine, and it has a high degree of corrosion resistance, making it the traditional choice of metal for use in harsh marine environments.
Cutty Sark
The world’s last intact clipper ship, now preserved in a spectacular dry dock at Greenwich, London. Long, lean, and beautiful, she was built in 1869 for the tea trade but made redundant by the completion of the Suez Canal, which made steam ships more economic. Instead she earned her living, and incredible reputation for speed, in the long distance wool trade from Australia.
