Great British Ships: Cutty Sark
Cutty Sark: 150 Years of War & Speed
Season 1 Episode 4 of 6
Rob Bell explores the extraordinary tea clipper Cutty Sark, a ship that endured drunken captains and murderous crews, inspired a whiskey and survived the coming of the steam age. Rob clambers aboard to experience first-hand the beauty and superior design of the ship. He delves into her tragic past - the vagabond years of 'tramping', mistreatment by her captains and desertion by her crews
