Check the latest on the Cutty Sark

She is really starting to look like a ship again.  I still have not quite figured out how thay are holding th eship up and NOT causing her to hogg or strain.  The ENTIRE ship will NOT rest on the keel and so how be suspended in the air with teh use of rod or cables.  Damn impressive feat of engineering.  Some how by hook or by crook I will see her before I kick the can.

I don't know why they did this, it looks lke it would put the hull under tremendous strain.  I think it looks terrible and I don't see the point.   I much prefered her the way she was before, a ship in a dry dock.  Oh well, that's progress for you. Hmm
