Channel 5 Cutty Sark program tonight.
« on: September 14, 2019, 08:36:57 pm »
If anyone watched ch5s program on Cutty Sark this evening I feel the need to correct some of the information given. Cutty Sark did not become a training ship in Falmouth alongside whatever HMS ship they said but was actually part of HMS Worcester at Greenhithe on the Thames. She was looked after and maintained by the cadets. I was a Cadet in her shortly after Cutty Sark was towed to Greenwich.

I didn't see the programme but, by pure coincidence I've just finished reading an article in the Sea Breezes magazine from April this year, titled 'Last passage of the Cutty Sark'.
This was when she had been lying in the East India Import Dock and was finally towed to the dry dock at Greenwich.
Onboard for the move (among others) Capt C E Irving, CB, RD, RNR, who first joined the ship in 1885 when he was 13, as an apprentice under Capt Richard Woodget.  :-))
I don't know if this was mentioned in the programme or not.

No mention. Omissions are to be expected but to get one well documented fact wrong is sloppy production.
