The ship, one of the capital's best-loved tourist attractions, is currently closed to the public for extensive renovation work.

Renovations and fires seem to go together. Johnny Cash's old house burned to the ground a few weeks ago.

If it were a significant military ship I would be sad, but carrying tea to stain British teeth doesn’t do it for me.

The preserved 19th-century ship the Cutty Sark is on fire, London Fire Brigade has confirmed. It is said to be 100% alight and eight fire engines are at the scene in Greenwich, south-east London

Well ... if it's on fire .. then there is a pretty good chance that it's not 100% alright

An area around the 138-year-old tea clipper is being evacuated over fear gas cylinders onboard could explode.

Greenwich town centre in south-east London has been closed to traffic and the Docklands Light Railway shut.

I guess the one good thing is that the masts and spars had already been removed and could possibly be restored.

Oh, it's the ship, Cutty Sark.

For a moment there, I was afraid JimRob might have to close FR.
