Cutty Sark

Fortunately, when the fire broke out, much of the structure had been removed for a massive restoration and preservation project.

The fire was started deliberately it is believed, and the Cutty Sark Trust are concerned that the heat of the fire may have buckled the iron hull, but they will have to wait for further examinations.

Go to http://www.cuttysark.org.uk to contribute towards the restoration. The Cutty Sark normally gets 7 million visitors a year - so if each person send £1 they will be close to meeting the costs of all the work required to make it once again a place of pilgrimage for all wanting to get a taste for Britain's Maritime History
