The Cutty Sark Tall Ship Model sits perfectly on the included base, which is made of a high-quality, conditioned wood, and has a brass name plate.
The Cutty Sark Tall Ship Model is built from scratch by experienced master artisans and is not from any sort of kit. To create the subtle details and definitions of the deck and hull, the plank on frame method of construction is used, which requires hundreds of hours of pain-staking, detailed work.
The highest quality, rare woods (including Ebony, Rosewood, Blackwood, Mahogany, Jack wood, and Sycamore) used to construct our models are subjected to specific seasoning procedures to ensure that the model will withstand severe climate and never warp or split.
Ornaments and decorations on this Cutty Sark model (which may include cannons, portholes, anchors, muskets, and other details) are sculpted of brass, chrome, and other metals. Sails are handmade of fine linen and rigging lines vary in weight, thickness and color.
The detailed, hand-stitched sails of the Cutty Sark model ship are constructed of fine linen. The detailed riggings and lining are painstakingly fastened by hand and also made of linen.
Extensive research is required to build each Cutty Sark Tall Ship Model according to scale, using various pictures, original plans, drawings, and digital imaging.
Each Cutty Sark model ship is examined during various processes of manufacturing and shipment to ensure the highest quality and accuracy possible for your investment.
The Cutty Sark was initially designed and meant for trading tea with China. Crafted to race across the globe to sack immense profits before other European traders, the Cutty Sark was built for speed. In the memorable race between the Cutty Sark and Thermopylae in 1872, the Cutty Sark lost her rudder after passing through the Sunda Straight and arrived in London a week after their competitor. What makes the Cutty Sark the hero of this race was that she continued the race with a makeshift rudder instead of putting into port for repairs, and in spite of that only lost by a week.
Inevitably, the clipper ships lost out to the more powerful steam boats, which were more reliable, and thus returned goods more consistently. The Cutty Sark won the reputation as the fastest ship in her size when she ran 360 nautical miles in 24 hours during a run for Australian Wool trade.
The Cutty Sark is the world’s sole surviving extreme slipper, with the majority of her hull fabric surviving from her original construction in the 1860s. The Cutty Sark is preserved as a museum ship in Greenwich, which is in south-east London.
