The Cutty Sark, a tea clipper was launched on the river Clyde in 1869. However,
it was in 1870 that it started its adventurous service. It sailed the seas
to China to transport tea, but with the opening of Suez Canal it was diverted
to wool trade. After 25 years of its involvement in English enterprises, the
Cutty Sark was acquired by the Portuguese. But in 1922, thanks to the Captain
WILFRED DOWNMAN, the vessel was returned to England.
