SHIP HISTORY
The Cutty Sark was built at Scott and Lintons yard, Dumbarton, Scotland in 1869 for the traffic with the far South East and Africa. She was designed to rival the Thermopylae, one of the finest clippers ever built, which she did for many years. She now resides at the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich.
The Cutty Sark is named after the short shirt worn by the fleet-footed witch featured in the poem Tam o' Shanter written by Robert Burns. She was designed by Hercules Linton and built in 1869 at Dumbarton in Scotland, by the firm of Scott & Linton, for Captain John "Jock" "White Hat" Willis, and launched November 23 of that year.
The Cutty Sark was destined for the China tea trade, at that time an intensely competitive race across the globe from China to London, with immense profits to the ship to arrive with the first tea of the year. However, she did not distinguish herself in this trade; in the most famous race, against Thermopylae in 1872, both ships left Shanghai together on June 18, but two weeks later Cutty Sark lost her rudder after passing through the Sunda Strait, and arrived in London on October 18, a week after Thermopylae, for a total passage of 122 days. Her legendary reputation is supported by the fact that her captain chose to continue this race with an improvised rudder instead of putting into port for a replacement, yet was only beaten by one week.
In the end, clippers lost out to steamships, which could pass through the recently-opened Suez Canal and deliver goods more reliably, if not quite so quickly, which as it turned out was better for business. The Cutty Sark was then used in the Australian wool trade. Under the command of the respected Captain Richard Woodget, she did very well, posting Australia-to-England times of as little as 67 days. Her best run, 360 nautical miles in 24 hours, was said to have been the fastest of any ship of her size.
In 1895 Willis sold her to the Portuguese firm of Ferreira and she was renamed after the firm. In 1916 she was dismasted off the Cape of Good Hope, sold, re-rigged in Cape Town as a barquentine, and renamed the Maria do Amparo. In 1922 she was bought by Captain Wilfred Dowman, who restored her to her original appearance and used her as a stationary training ship.
The ship was installed in a dry berth near the Thames at Greenwich, London in 1957. It was opened to the public as a relic and a museum. During restorations in 2007, it was damaged heavily by fire. It was restored and reopened to the public on April 25th, 2012.
Cutty Sark means ‘short skirt’ in Scottish, popularly referred to the clothes of the witch Nannie Dee in Robert Burns’ poem Tam O’ Shanter, published in 1791. The Cutty Sark had, a figurehead of Nannie Dee in her scanty outfit as described in the poem.

finally organized all my jewerly!
Color: Black
This jewelry box completely transformed the way I store and access my accessories. It’s not just functional, it’s genuinely beautiful, with a sleek design that looks great on my dresser. The exterior feels sturdy and well-made, and the interior is soft and luxurious, keeping all my pieces protected and tangle-free.
There’s a perfect place for everything: rings, earrings, necklaces, and even watches or bracelets. I especially love the multiple compartments and drawers, which make it easy to separate everyday items from special pieces. No more digging around or untangling chains!
The mirror inside is a thoughtful touch, and the box itself feels compact enough for smaller spaces while still holding a surprising amount. It’s one of those things that makes daily routines feel a little more put-together.
If you’re looking for a jewelry box that’s practical, elegant, and gift-worthy, this one checks every box. Great for personal use or as a thoughtful present.

Prefect Travel Case
Color: Black, Color: Black
I got this for taking my jewelry on the go. I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised by the quality it feels very sturdy. It has several spots to hold jewelry and keep it organized. The outside is textured and it closes with a snap which can be done easily.
