Clouds & Silver linings? - yes Teribus I agree with you. Thankfully so much of the Cutty Sark's original fabric was spared from the blaze. We have lost so much of the handiwork of men generations before us....but it leaves open the chance for our generation of skilled craftsmen to tread in their footsteps and have a chance to re-build rather than restore this ship. Dry dock is a sad place - hopefully, after a rebuild, the Cutty Sark's future will be in open water.
