We would like to express our profound shock at the tragic news of the severe fire on board the Cutty Sark in Greenwich, London on the 21st May 2007.

We sincerely hope that the ship can still be restored as intended by the major restoration project currently underway. Our deepest sympathy is with the Cutty Sark Trust, and the people of London.

The Cutty Sark needs your support more than ever in light of this tragedy.



HELP SAVE THE CITY OF ADELAIDE

In light of this tragedy at the Cutty Sark we urgently would like to highlight the plight of Britain's only other surviving clipper ship, the City of Adelaide. The Scottish Maritime Museum is currently considering scrapping the rusty hulk of this ship instead of safeguarding or restoring her.

We believe that this decision must be urgently reconsidered, as the Cutty Sark disaster goes to show how irreplaceable these ships are. If the City of Adelaide was restored then at least it would exist as another surviving clipper ship in Britain. To lose both surviving clipper ships in the same week would be an even greater tragedy and be unforgivable.

We strongly urge that everyone contact the Scottish Maritime Museum to urge them to save the City of Adelaide.
