The Cutty Sark Burns John: Greenwich is a well-known tourist spot in London. It’s also the home of a historically important ship the Cutty Sark. Now, a terrible fire has destroyed the Cutty Sark.The Cutty Sark has been a major tourist attraction since the 1950s and was being restored when fire broke out in May. Well I’m joined in the studio by our new supremo Tom Bateman. Tom, there’s some breaking news come through. Yes, well you mentioned this a second ago, but the Cutty Sark ship, down in Greenwich, which of course is moored1 permanently2 at Cutty Sark is actually on fire this morning. We've just had word through from the fire brigade. They’ve got eight fire engines down there, that’s about 40 or so firefighters. And they say the entire ship is ablaze3 at the moment. There’s also gas cylinders4 involved, so they’re going to have to put an exclusion5 zone around this so, it's a pretty major event taking place. Oh it’s just unbelievable. This is original fabric6. This is the ship that sailed to the South China Seas. It has the touch of the craftsman7 on it. If we are losing original fabric, we’re losing history. This ship is unique in so many ways, principally because it’s ‘as built’. She’s just an extraordinary ship, she’s bound up in the journeys she used to make to China for tea, and to Australia for wool. She is without doubt not just an important part of maritime8 heritage for this country, she’s part of our national identity.
