The Cutty Sark ship has very dramatic history behind, although it was mainly used for tea shipments from China to England. The 24K gold rim makes it more impressive, the piece is well crafted to the perfection.
Every gift piece is superb, and it is the love of your friends.
True wealth is adding friends you can trust.
Above line is absolutely true.

Like the Santa Maria, the Cutty Sark is represented on various commemorative coins all over the world. Her reputation of record breaking speed, branding, marketing, and a few tall tales added to her legendary fame. I believe the Cutty Sark brand of tea is still available in England. I still have the Brand of Whiskey in my cabinet.
Thanks for dropping in @emaxisonline
I found another fact about her, the ship was used to transport wool from Australia to England as well.
@kerrislravenhill
No idea if there is any tea brand after her name, but Cutty Sark is named after an Scottish nightdress. :D
I think the change to shipping bulk wool came as Steamers were becoming more prevalent by their reliability and economically more competitive than the Tea Clippers. The age of the elegant Clipper (Windjammers) were a great advertising platform but are no longer competitive.
Their brand still makes a wicked Whiskey.
The times were changing, speed of the steamers gave the businesses to deliver the goods at faster pace. The clippers were a great deal that time, but technology keeps evolving to give us new inventions and improvement.
WOW! this Cutty Sark bottle of scotch looks classy and bold. 🤠
Thanks for sharing this amazing information.
