Cutty Sark Conservation Project, London

Cutty Sark was constructed in 1869, the last remaining Extreme Clipper she displaces
900 tonnes. We have devised a structural mechanism that lifts the hull above the dry
berth in which she currently resides, generating 1000m2 of space to house a new museum. The support, a combination of steel members cradles the hull, allowing the composite timber and iron structure to retain its original form, a shape that is the key to her speed.
