Guest 11:13AM-

The Carrick has already been discussed in this thread. Some guest review a thread before posting. You might consider doing that as well.

Et al:

My apologies to Cutty Sark partisans for expanding the discussion on this thread to the policy question of whether museum ships should be sailed or not. I did not consider such discussion thread drift, and my references to other museum ships was done to provide more context for the discussion. I'll be happy if they just rebuild the Cutty Sark, mount her on a supporting stand, and encase her in glass. She's probably too large and tall to fit into a bottle but wouldn't that be lovely! I'll volunteer to help empty the bottle.

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
