A 1970s colour photo taken from the deck of the Cutty Sark in Greenwich during the latter half of the 20th century. The scene from 1972 looks along the length of the historic tea clipper’s wooden deck, showing the intricate network of rigging, masts, and polished timber deckhouses. Visitors, including several children in typical early-seventies patterned shirts and shorts, explore the ship while it sits in its dry dock. In the background, the residential brick terraces of Greenwich and mature trees are visible beyond the ship’s railing. Built in 1869, the Cutty Sark was one of the fastest merchant ships of its time and has been a major London landmark since it was opened to the public by Queen Elizabeth II in 1957.
