Sept 25th, 2017: Cutty Sark
In my yout we had this picture hanging over the couch / hide-a-bed my folks slept on. It was printed on cardboard, then
brushed over with a thick clear coating to simulate a painting. It was the only art, but since we were living in a one car garage with an outhouse, and a sink with a hand pump, having that picture was a step up. I had no idea at the time it was the famous Cutty Sark... or what the thing was besides a boat. Quote:

But the steam ships won out and the Cutty Sark spent the next ten years moving wool from Australia to London(faster than anyone else). After the steam ships took over that trade, she pasted through a string of owners and riggings until she became a Museum in London. link link link
