Revealing the Story of Time
The Cutty Sark
The Cutty Sark was built in Scotland towards the end of the 19th Century to transport tea, then a very valuable cargo, from China. She was one of the last tea clippers to be built, and was one of the fastest before sailing ships gave way to steam powered ships. Now she is the last surviving ship of her kind. Cutty Sark then transported wool from Australia and held the record for the fastest time from Australia to England for 10 years. The name Cutty Sark is the nickname of a witch from a poem by Robert Burns, the ships figurehead is an image of her. Tourists can visit the ship.
Old Royal Naval College
The College is now a World Heritage site and is of “outstanding and universal value”, according to UNESCO. It is considered the finest architectural and landscape collection in the British Isles. It was built at the end of the 17thcentury as a hospital on the site of the old Royal Palace of Greenwich called the Palace of Placentia or Greenwich Palace. where all the 16th Century Tudor monarchs were born. Find out more on our tour.
National Maritime Museum
The National Maritime Museum is a free to enter museum. The museum has over 2 million items including maritime art, cartography , ship models and navigational instruments and astronomy and paintings including Admiral Nelson and Captain James Cook.
The Royal Observatory
This is the Old Royal Observatory and it holds an important place in the history of astronomy and navigation. It has the Prime Meridian running through it which is zero degrees longitude. This means it could be used as a baseline for time calculations and it therefore gave its name to Greenwich Mean Time. The observatory was commissioned in the late 1th Century by King Charles II with the aim of perfecting the art of navigation. It is now a museum and its worth having a look around.
