BEAUTIFUL NEW WOOD HANDCRAFTED MODEL OF CUTTY SARK. 30" long and 24" high. The ship is made from a combination of blackwood and teak. The finish on the wood is beautiful. CUTTY SARK The Cutty Sark was first launched November 22,1869 from Dunbarton in the Scottish Clyde. Perhaps second only to the H.M.S. Victory in the hearts of British Seamen, she was a beautiful ship and built to carry tea in the China Run. She was the fastest ship of her time taking the Cape of Good Hope route, and was recorded to have reached speeds of 17.5knots. Her best day's run is recorded at 363 miles, an average of 15 knots per hour. On one occasion she sailed 2,164 miles in six days and on another 3457 in eleven days. Unfortunately, she was built around the time of the opening of the Suez Canal and became obsolete as a trade ship in 1877. She is currently dry-docked and on display in Greenwich, London England. THE MODEL SHIP IS NOT A TOY AND SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY FROM CHILDREN. SHIPPING CHARGE IS FOR THE CONTINENTAL U.S. ONLY. The model ship requires some assembly. The ship is packed with the masts (sails and rigging attached) lying flat in the box. All you have to do is lift up the masts, set them in place and adjust the tension on the rigging. It's not difficult to do. It takes less then 10 minutes to put the masts in place and then a little longer to adjust the tension on the rigging but that could be done as time permits.
