Cutty Sark Re-Opened after 2007 Fire

Five years ago, a fire threatened the Cutty Sark, a historic British ship. Despite the damage, restoration efforts saved much of the original structure. The ship, launched in 1869, was known for its speed and role in the wool trade. Now, after a £50 million restoration, it stands proudly in Greenwich, elevated for visitors to admire. The project has sparked local pride, and the ship serves as a memorial to the Merchant Navy. The Queen and Duke of Edinburgh will relaunch the vessel, marking a new chapter in its storied history.
