The Cutty Sark was undergoing a complete renovation when the fire broke out. Due to this fact it was fortunate that some of the historic parts of the clipper ship were not in the fire, and they were well preserved. Fortunately, the ship's bow and stern is also intact. The video provides the details and footage of the terrible fire.
