The most famous of the beautiful clippers that brought tea from China, the Cutty Sark is now tethered at Greenwich. It could carry over a million pounds of tea in each vogage, and was one of the fastest ships of the day, setting records during the 1890s for speed. It is now a museum, showing details of its own trips, and those of the tea trade to China in general. There are some fascinating documents on display about pacific trade routes, trading conditions, and some great maps and sea charts.
