As a slight upside to this , the Cutty Sark is undergoing an extensive restoration project and much of the upper decking and all of the interior removable objects and all masts and rigging were removed before this fire occured , also like the farmers axe much of the origional ship has been replaced by new timber over the years . Having survived the vageries of wind and weather on the oceans of the world during her life I am sure that in time her silhouette will grace the Greenwhich skyline again.

This article says it is being treated as "suspicious". Why would someone do this?

It looks messed up to me!

Lets hope its not to bad and they rebuild her. The fire did look massive compared to the ships size.

Finless, there is already a nice clipper shipwreck, and it's just the other side of the Isle of Wight to you!
