It may be of interest to some members that I worked on the figurehead for
The Cutty Sark at the Earls Court Boat Show in 1959, I was working on stand 15 building a Shearwater Catamaran, on stand 14 next to me the carver was working on the figurehead, he invited me to do some carving.
The figurehead was carved from Canadian pine a beautiful wood to carve.
I understand the figurehead had been removed before the fire.
I have attached a photo of me working at Earls Court.
