Hi All
On the market currrently you can purchase many different reduce sized Figure Heads from different ships over the years, I wonder why no one has marrketed Nannie from the Cutty sark.

A replica figurehead currently adorns the ship's bow and the original figurehead is in the Trust's collection of museum objects. Cutty Sark's figurehead was designed by Hercules Linton (who also designed the ship), and carved by F. Hellyer of Blackwall. When Cutty Sark still sailed, the apprentices on board the ship would make a horse's tail from old rope and place it in Nannie’s outstretched arm.

I'd love to buy one, even a resin knockoff copy, it would look some grand on the desk!
