The Cutty Sark

It is on fire and is most probably unsaveable... I'm devastated There is this strange thing about old ships, especially the tallships, that they seem to be alive, they are living, breathing and creaking beings and amazing pieces of art. Also, they are unique pieces of conserved history. And now, one of them, one of the most important ones is lost forever, because even if it is rebuilt, we, with our great knowledge and amazing technology will be unable to reproduce it. Like a human, these ships are unique and its impossible to remake. It is an immense loss.
