About the charity

The Cutty Sark Trust is an independent charity which owns and runs the sole surviving tea clipper, Cutty Sark. The ship is the iconic Gateway to the Maritime Greenwich World Heritage Site. For over 50 years she has been the flagship of the area which now attracts over six million visitors a year. The Trust’s mission is to ensure that Cutty Sark is preserved for this and future generations as a rich cultural resource for all. The ship was undergoing a major conservation project when fire swept through her in May 2007. For more information please visit www.cuttysark.org.uk
