Well, it’s a sad tourist day for England, as one of its most popular Greenwhich attractions has been ravaged by fire.

The Cutty Sark, considered one of the more important ships in the world, was engulfed in flames & has caused substantial damage to the world’s last remaining tea clippers.

Sadly, the Cutty Sark had been undergoing a 50 million renovation when residents of southeast London, where the 19th century clipper has been docked since the 1950s, heard an explosion.

Police are atill examining the cause of the fire & whether arson was involved.  Poor ole Cutty.
