Petition to Refloat the Cutty Sark

 

I received this from one of my on-line correspondents, Tim Trent.

Ever since I was a kid, very soon after the Cutty Sark was placed in her dry dock tomb, I have felt very strongly that this ship was wasted. She should be free, sailing the seas and with crews of our kids. She shoudl be a sail training vessel again. She was once, and was afloat until circa 1954.

Now she has been burnt down we can raise her again and relaunch her as a proud ship.

To this end I have started a petition to the Prime Minister, which, if you agree with, I would love you to sign, at http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/TallShip/. You must be a British citizen or resident to sign the petition.

This is a very good idea and I've signed the petition.
