The last tea clipper there is, lifted three metres so you can walk under her hull.
HistoryOn the waterFamily friendlyPermanent
Built on the Clyde in 1869 to race tea home from China, and fast enough to do it — the trade moved to steamers through the new Suez Canal within a few years, so she carried wool from Australia instead, and beat everything afloat on that run too. She is the only tea clipper left. The ship sits in a dry berth at Greenwich, raised three metres off the ground and skirted with glass, so you walk underneath and look up at the copper-sheathed hull that made her quick — which is a stranger sight than anything on deck. Above, there are three decks to work through, the cargo holds, the cramped crew quarters and the rigging, with volunteer explainers and costumed characters about. A fire in 2007 destroyed much of the ironwork but most of the original fabric had been removed for conservation. Adults £22, children £11, daily 10:00 to 17:00.
