Had an amazing day
visiting the Cutty Sark. As members we were able to book on to a free guided tour with our host James Watson taking us round giving us expert insight into the history and story of the ship. He really brought everything to life and was able to involve the kids and keep them entertained for nearly 1.5 hours (though was only meant to last 45 mins)!! Really fun day, just a shame policy is they don't accept tips as he definitely deserved one though wouldn't accept! Thanks for taking us round James!!

We visited the Cutty Sark to find about more about her in her prime.
We were particularly interested in her competitions with the Thermopylae, as my husband’s great great (+?) grandfather, Robert Kemball, was the captain of that ship when they raced to or from Australia.
So a bit of an obscure link we were chasing.
The staff here are very knowledgeable, and you can tell it’s not just stuff they’ve been taught to do their jobs, suspect they’re at least post-grad students…
We spoke with a male staff member on deck who was able to give us a bit of information about a link.
He then approached us later and suggested we speak with a lady in the gift shop, as she had recently done a lot of research on the Thermopylae.
She gave us a wealth of information and pointed us to the lamp in the master’s cabin that was actually the lamp from the Thermopylae. She also told us about Thermopylae’s final days.
If you’re into maritime history you can’t go past this place. Make sure you speak with the staff, they’re very passionate about their area of expertise, and keen to share their knowledge.
Thanks Cutty Sark crew, you helped to fill in a lot of context significance in our family tree.
