The Cutty Sark Fire


The Dunbarton built, Tea Clipper, caught alight on Monday at arround 5am. I awoke, and the picture, from BBC news confronted me on Google.

I have in fact visited the Cutty Sark. I remember using 2p pieces instead of 10p to activate the commentary. (Thinking I was Al Capone, and the Scarlet Pimpernel rolled into one)

Luckily alot of the Sark's fittings. The masts, and figurehead, had been removed for refurbishment. That said, in a depressing development, the Police suspect Arson.

The BBC's the Apprentice, featured the Cutty Sark, as a backdrop today. Thus dating the show
