Description:

The Cutty Sark Large is a breathtaking model of one of the most celebrated clippers in maritime history, renowned for its speed, elegance, and iconic design. Launched in 1869, the Cutty Sark carried tea from China and later sailed the Australian wool trade, earning legendary status as one of the fastest sailing ships of her era.

This handcrafted model showcases a striking dual-color hull—natural wood and black—along with a complex rigging system that faithfully replicates the intricate sailing mechanics of the original ship. Expert artisans craft each piece from premium woods such as cedar, mahogany, and teak, using the traditional plank-on-frame method. Hundreds of hours go into meticulously recreating every deck detail, hull line, and rigging element.

The deck features finely crafted cabins, hatches, railings, and lifeboats. With hand-stitched black sails and sophisticated rigging, the model captures the historic accuracy and engineering brilliance of the Cutty Sark in miniature form.

Mounted on a solid wood base with a brass nameplate, the large Cutty Sark makes a striking centerpiece—perfect for home or office décor, a unique gift, or a prized addition to any collection of maritime enthusiasts.

History:

The Cutty Sark is one of the most iconic clippers in maritime history, famed for her speed, elegance, and striking design. Launched in 1869 in Dumbarton, Scotland, she was built to transport tea from China, participating in the thrilling tea races of the 19th century. Later, she carried Australian wool, securing her reputation as one of the fastest and most reliable sailing ships of her time.

At 212 feet in length and fully rigged, the Cutty Sark featured a sleek, narrow hull, towering masts, and expansive sails. Her name, “cutty sark,” refers to the short nightdress worn by the witch Nannie in Robert Burns’ poem Tam o’ Shanter, reflecting the ship’s grace and nimbleness on the water. Lightweight yet robust, she combined advanced design with a powerful sail plan, making her legendary for long ocean passages.

Today, the Cutty Sark is preserved as a museum ship in Greenwich, England, celebrated as a symbol of the golden age of sail, maritime innovation, and craftsmanship. Her legacy continues through detailed models that capture her beauty, speed, and adventurous spirit, offering collectors and enthusiasts a chance to admire this historic clipper in miniature form.
