About this product

Cutty Sark 1:84 Wooden Ship Model Kit – Artesania Latina (22800N) A legendary clipper reborn with modern precision. The Legend of the Cutty Sark Built in 1869 in Dumbarton, Scotland, the Cutty Sark became one of the fastest and most iconic clippers of the 19th century. Designed for the intense tea trade between China and London, she later excelled in the Australian wool trade before steamships eventually dominated global routes. Fully restored in 1954, the Cutty Sark now rests in a custom dry dock in Greenwich, London, where her sleek lines, record-breaking speed, and intricate craftsmanship continue to inspire visitors from around the world.
