Cutty Sark epitomises the great age of sail; she is the last surviving tea
clipper. Herre markable story is tangible evidence of the centuries long
importance of sea-trade to this country and to the growth of London as
theworld’s pre-eminent port and trading centre. Built as a tea clipper, where
speed to market was critical, it is the combination of sail and hull form which
gave Cutty Sarkher edge. The hull shape is defined by the revolutionary 19th
century composite iron and timber ship building technique.
A comprehensive programme of conservation began on Cutty
Sark
in 2004, which saw the biggest overhaul of the Grade I listed landmark for 50
years with the ship’s reopening planned to take place in 2009. The project was
brought to a dramatic halt when a fire in 2007 swept through the wooden
structure, causing extensive damage to the centre of the ship. The disaster
caught the public’s interest and initiated a major fund raising campaign,
enabling the project not only to be resumed at the end of 2009 but to an
enhanced design brief.
The new design
proposed raising the 963 tonnes Cutty Sark three metres within the dry berth.
The dry berth was created in the 1950s, and purpose built in mass concrete on a
former bomb site to house Cutty Sark when she was brought to Green wich from
Shadwell Basin. The ship was floated down the Thames, and manoeuvred into the
berth before the end was sealed and the water drained to allow her to reston
the berth’s floor. In order to deliver this new conservation solution, within
the constraints of the dryberth, it demanded that the new intervention shad to
respect, repair and adapt to the original fabric of the ship.
