“Cutty Sark....... A beautiful, strong name.”

...and it means “short nightshirt” in the Scots tongue.

I appreciate that. Thanks.

I have a sister-in-law from Scotland. I’ll try and one-up her with that one. LOL

Saw the Tinkerbelle on display. It’s about the size of a van.

Cutty Sark was a great ship. She survived later than most into the age of steam.

The fire was caused by a vacuum cleaner carelessly left running. What a waste.

Dang those tall ships are things of beauty and artistry.
Makes my soul cry that they are museum relics. Thankfully some are preserved for us who love them.
