Cutty Sark undergoes £25 million makeover

By Ayshea Buksh
Work has
begun on The Cutty Sark in Greenwich to protect it from the ravages of
time. After two years the vessel will be suspended above a futuristic
glass bubble allowing people to walk underneath the famous ship.

The £25
million Conservation Project  is designed to preserve the historic
merchant ship built in 1869. Marine salts have had such a corrosive
impact  on the vessel it needs a dramatic makeover to keep it in dock
at Greenwich.
