  • Expert commentary on Cutty Sark's history: including how and why it was built, stories from the ship's seafaring past and its place in Greenwich today.
  • Rich audio, images and text: lean back and listen or read the transcript – explore the ship at your own pace and in your own way.

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.
