Dear Folks, I have a question to all you naval historians who know the history of the clipper "Cutty Sark". It has been my goal to build her as accurately as I can, knowing that many kit manufacturers can in-accurate in some areas. I started with Longridges book "The Cutty Sark", that has plans drawn by Underhill. Longridge built a model of the Cutty Sark which is on display in the London Science Museum to this day, or so I have been told. He built the model in the 1930's and I just assumed that his model reflects Underhill's drawings. I also understand that the original drawings for the Cutty Sark were lost and so, have been redrawn at some date. Of course, right away, I noticed distinct differences in the kit drawings and Underhills. So, I contacted the Royal Museum in Greenwich and they provided me with a set of line drawings done my Campbell. I just received them today and they reflect almost exactly with the plans from the kit manufacturer. Now I am confused as to who is right. I know that the Cutty Sark went through some modifications over her lifetime. My desire is to build my model to reflect how she appeared in 1870. So, as it is now, I am leaning towards using Campbell's plans. I haven't checked the sail plan and rigging yet, but will do the same vetting when that time comes. Thank you for any help you can provide. Best regards, Dennis
