I've been staring at the photo that comes with the story above and wondering about the caption:

The front of the Cutty Sark is removed as part of an ongoing conservation project in Greenwhich Photo: GETTY

The view looks to me as if it's the stern of the clipper ship (I do have a photo of the stern that I shot a few years ago), not the "front" or pointy part. In the context of the story this may not be an especially important point. But I do hope when they get the ship put back together, that they get the parts fitted back into their proper places.

Cheerily,
