Cutty Sark in Greenwich

This amazing Tea Clipper has an amazing story, specially built to bring back tea from China - it was one of the fastest ships in it's day.  Later when steam ships came into service, Cutty Sark was used to bring wool from Australia and later used as a training ship.  Finally it was brought to Greenwich as a museum piece and in 2008 after refurbishing it burned down.  Now in 2012 it was rebuilt on a special platform - hanging in mid air, with a cafe under the ship.
