Cutty Sark

British sailing ship, built in 1869, one of the tea clippers that used to compete in the 19th century to see which clippers could bring its cargo most quickly from China to Britain.

The name, meaning ‘short chemise’, comes from the witch in Robert Burns's poem ‘Tam O'Shanter’. The biennial Cutty Sark International Tall Ships Race is named after it. The ship is preserved in dry dock at Greenwich, London.
