The Cutty Sark, at one time, was the fastest ship in the world, weighing 963 tons. These tickets allow you to step aboard, roam around, and explore the various exhibits of the ship, which were painstakingly restored in 2012. On some days, you will see performers playing the parts of the ship’s former crew. You can meet Captain Woodget, the longest-serving master of the Cutty Sark, or Jock Willis, the man behind the glorious ship’s construction. The ship itself is elevated 3 meters above its dry dock, giving visitors an unmatched view of the entire clipper. From the deck, the London skyline is a breathtaking sight.
The Cutty Sark’s cargo hold features blocks of information along with the copper cladding. The interiors also feature impressively detailed information about medieval sea routes, trade winds, and ship specifications that are presented in a creative fashion. You can also take the wheel and find out what it took to steer the 963-tonne ship. There are many hidden buttons to press and short films to watch in various interesting portions of the vessel, making this a truly informative and entertaining visit. Additionally, you can choose to upgrade to the Royal Museums Greenwich Day Pass, which grants you entry to the Cutty Sark, the Royal Observatory, the National Maritime Museum, Peter Harrison Planetarium, and Queen's House.
