Go on a virtual tour
Explore Cutty Sark’s poop deck like never before with our virtual 3D experience.
Located at the rear of the famous tea clipper, the poop deck is home to the Ship’s Wheel and the officers’ accommodation.
The area is currently closed to visitors while we replace the deck. Maritime lovers can now explore the deck from the comfort of home thanks to our virtual experience, created in partnership with cultural travel app, Smartify.
Like what you hear?
Cutty Sark has endured many hardships, but the pandemic has been once of the toughest years in the ship's history. For every month Royal Museums Greenwich has been closed, we've lost £1 million in revenue – yet our care for the ship continues.
If you enjoy the tour, please consider leaving a donation to help secure the ship's future.
