Visit Cutty Sark, the celebrated sailing ship and fastest of its time: now an award-winning visitor attraction in Greenwich.
From the dizzy height of the main mast to the surprises below deck, step aboard and discover the best Cutty Sark has to offer. The historic ship in the heart of Greenwich is open all year round, and visitors are free to explore all areas of the ship.
It takes hours of work from our experienced shipkeepers to keep the main deck looking as fresh and clean as it does. It wouldn't always have been this way... During Cutty Sark's days at sea, pigs and chickens would have been kept in pens on deck, with crew responsible for mucking them out. As for the toilets, well... because there was no flushing water, sailors would have simply used salt water to flush everything into the sea!
