Built for the tea race and one of the \u003cstrong\u003efastest ships\u003c\/strong\u003e of its time, it is preserved as a museum vessel in the town of Greenwich, United Kingdom. Launched in Dumbarton (Scotland) in 1869, \u003cstrong\u003eCutty Sark\u003c\/strong\u003e was dedicated in his early years to the \u003cstrong\u003etea race\u003c\/strong\u003e, trying to unite China and London in the shortest possible time during eight 'tea seasons'.  \u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp\u003eIn the same year of its launch, the Suez Canal was opened, which made the route much shorter and gave advantage to steamers. It was possible to cross the Suez Canal for a sailboat, but it was difficult and expensive, conditions for sailing in the Red Sea are far from ideal. Later it would be dedicated to the trade of wool from Australia, being the \u003cstrong\u003efastest boat\u003c\/strong\u003e in these routes during a decade, and it also would be used for the transport of goods between Porto, Rio de Janeiro, New Orleans, Lisbon and the Portuguese colonies. Finally, in 1954 it would be transferred to dry dock and become a museum ship.\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCONTENTS OF THE CUTTY SARK MODEL KIT\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp\u003eBuild your 1:84 scale \u003cstrong\u003ewooden model\u003c\/strong\u003e of the \u003cstrong\u003eCutty Sark\u003c\/strong\u003e, legendary \u003cstrong\u003eclipper\u003c\/strong\u003e.
