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.
I still wonder why they would need gas cylinders stored on board as most metal work would probably be done in shops, away from the ship, to prevent this very thing from happening.
I was in Baltimore a few years back, and was passing by the Pride of Baltimore (III?) while she was fitting out. She was beamy and stable, but not at all like the previous vessels. Of course, she probably will not capsize and sink, either.
Nobody would be crazy enough to put that much sail on a vessel so narrow anymore. There are better ways to get someplace fast. She was just too unsafe for modern standards. But it is the massive sail area over the narrow hull that made the ship so beautiful and conveyed the purpose of all-out crazy speed.
If a modern vessel were built to replace the Cutty Sark, it would just break your heart to see it.
