/ðə/ /ˈkʌti/ /Sark/

One of the most famous sailing ships of the nineteenth

/wʌn/ /ɒv/ /ðə/ /məʊst/ /ˈfeɪməs/ /ˈseɪlɪŋ/ /ʃɪps/ /ɒv/ /ðə/ /ˈnaɪnˈtiːŋθ/

century, the Cutty Sark, can still be seen at Greenwich. She

/ˈsɛnʧʊri,/ /ðə/ /ˈkʌti/ /Sark,/ /kæn/ /stɪl/ /biː/ /siːn/ /æt/ /ˈgrɪnɪʤ./ /ʃiː/

stands on dry land and is visited by thousands of people

/stændz/ /ɒn/ /draɪ/ /lænd/ /ænd/ /ɪz/ /ˈvɪzɪtɪd/ /baɪ/ /ˈθaʊzəndz/ /ɒv/ /ˈpiːpl/

each year. She serves as an impressive reminder of the great

/iːʧ/ /jɪə./ /ʃiː/ /sɜːvz/ /æz/ /ən/ /ɪmˈprɛsɪv/ /rɪˈmaɪndər/ /ɒv/ /ðə/ /greɪt/

ships of past.

/ʃɪps/ /ɒv/ /pɑːst./

Before they were replaced by steamships, sailing vessels like

/bɪˈfɔː/ /ðeɪ/ /wɜː/ /rɪˈpleɪst/ /baɪ/ /ˈstiːmʃɪps,/ /ˈseɪlɪŋ/ /ˈvɛslz/ /laɪk/

the Cutty Sark were used to carry tea from China and wool

/ðə/ /ˈkʌti/ /Sark/ /wɜː/ /juːzd/ /tuː/ /ˈkæri/ /tiː/ /frɒm/ /ˈʧaɪnə/ /ænd/ /wʊl/

from Australia. The Cutty Sark was one the fastest sailing

ships that has ever been built. The only other ship to match

/ʃɪps/ /ðæt/ /hæz/ /ˈɛvə/ /biːn/ /bɪlt./ /ði/ /ˈəʊnli/ /ˈʌðə/ /ʃɪp/ /tuː/ /mæʧ/

her was the Thermopylae. Both these ships set out from

/hɜː/ /wɒz/ /ðə/ /Thermopylae./ /bəʊθ/ /ðiːz/ /ʃɪps/ /sɛt/ /aʊt/ /frɒm/

Shanghai on June 18th, 1872 on an exciting race to England.

/ʃæŋˈhaɪ/ /ɒn/ /ʤuːn/ /18th,/ /1872/ /ɒn/ /ən/ /ɪkˈsaɪtɪŋ/ /reɪs/ /tuː/ /ˈɪŋglənd./

This race, which went on for exactly four

/ðɪs/ /reɪs,/ /wɪʧ/ /wɛnt/ /ɒn/ /fɔːr/ /ɪgˈzæktli/ /fɔːr/ /ɪgˈzæktli/ /fɔː/

months, was the last of its kind. It marked the end of the

/mʌnθs,/ /wɒz/ /ðə/ /lɑːst/ /ɒv/ /ɪts/ /kaɪnd./ /ɪt/ /mɑːkt/ /ði/ /ɛnd/ /ɒv/ /ðiː/

great tradition of ships with sails and the beginning of a new

The first of the two ships to reach Java after the race had

the first ship home, but during the race she had a lot of bad
