I feel the same way about this as I do when a classic plane is destroyed in a crash but the pilot gets out OK. Kind of sick to know there will never be another one.

Tragic...I love seeing the old sailing ships.... A few days after seeing the Cutty Sark, I got to see the Bicentennial parade of tall ships on July 4, 1976 in New York harbor from about an altitude of 15,000 feet in a red Branniff 727.

Renovations and fires seem to go together.When I was stationed in Sasebo, Japan the base HQ building (dating from pre-WWII Japanese Navy) was gutted by a fire during renovations. The irony was they were installing a modern sprinkler system.
Back on topic, it will be a real shame if the Cutty Sark is lost.

I believe it was Samuel Clemens who called America and Britain “two nations separated by a common language.”

Oh, it's the ship, Cutty Sark.
For a moment there, I was afraid JimRob might have to close FR.

"Very sad. Beautiful ship."Yes, very sad. The first ship model I built was of the Cutty Sark (means "Petticoat". Proably referred to the bow wave she threw up as she sliced through the water. She was one fast vessel.)

Back on topic, it will be a real shame if the Cutty Sark is lost. At least I know what I will be drinking if she is destroyed.

When I saw the title the first image that popped into my mind was John Belushi after they took the bar in Animal House.

I used to do restoration work on antique boats.
The techniques and materials to build a ship like that correctly have been lost to history and stupidity. This is a tragic loss of an irreplaceable artifact.
