Celebrate 70 years of Cutty Sark in Greenwich

Cutty Sark has been a beloved feature of the London skyline for 70 years.

On 10 December 1954 the ship made its final voyage to its new home: a custom-built dry dock in the heart of Greenwich.

Since then, more than 17 million visitors have stepped aboard Cutty Sark, walked its decks and experienced a taste of life at sea.

To mark the 70th anniversary of Cutty Sark’s arrival, a new display tells the story of how the ship came to the Royal Borough.

• Learn how public support and royal patronage helped save the ship from ruin in the 1950s. 
• Find out about how Cutty Sark was towed to its new home, and the work needed to preserve this survivor from the ‘glorious days of sail’.
• Discover visitor memories of the historic ship and share your own.

The display is included with all tickets to Cutty Sark. See it in the Dry Dock, beneath the ship itself.
