In the hold

The hold of the Cutty Sark would once have been filled with tea boxes (as painted on the floor) when it was on the China Tea trade (see PiP 1 for some history on that). Later in her career she was used on the Australian wool run (PiP2), setting record times for the trip to the UK. As for the crew, some of the slightly more senior members lived in the cabin shown in PiP3, while the Captain and senior officers used the Mess shown in PiP 4. An 'indoor fence' is a little different! HFF and have a great weekend everyone.
