it was very sad news to here about the Cutty Sark being almost destroyed in
the fire, but it is also very sad news about another Clipper ship named the CITY OF ADELAIDE which is also going to be destroyed by North Ayrshire Council and the Scottish Maritime Heritage. the City of Adelaide is due to be deconstructed (broken up) any day now it is lying on a slipway at Irvine north Ayrshire Scotland. this ship is built the same way as the cutty Sark and is five years older infact its in better condition now than the Cutty Sark, it was built at Sunderland in 1864. apart from people in Australia and Sunderland no one in the UK seems to give one jot about this.....sad. go to google and read of this ship and see what you think. red. |
