Fodor's Review:

At this writing, the famous tea clipper itself remains closed until March 2010. In addition to repairing the damage from the 2007 fire, the ship is being raised and other work is taking place to make it more accessible to visitors. In the meantime, a viewing cabin right next to the ship provides information about refurbishment work and also houses a little gift shop. This sleek, romantic clipper was built in 1869, one of fleets and fleets of similar tall-masted wooden ships that plied oceanic highways of the 19th century, trading in exotic commodities—tea, in this case. The Cutty Sark was also the fastest, sailing the China-London route in 1871 in only 107 days.
