The famous, beautiful, and swift British clipper, Cutty Sark carried more sails for her size than any other clipper ship ever built. The Cutty Sark was designed by Hercules Linton and built at Dambarton on the Clyde, England, in 1869 for John Willis, a British ship owner. She was designed to beat Thermopylae, one of the best and finest clippers ever built. Her main mast rises 145 feet above deck, and her main yarns extends 78 feet from tip to tip. When her sails were set, she flung a tremendous 32,000 square feet of canvas before the wind. She raced against the Thermopylae in the tea race of 1872, from Shanghai to the Thames. The Cutty Sark was 400 miles ahead of the Thermopylae and would have crushed her rival if it had not been for the loss of her rudder in a gale in the Indian ocean. | ||
