a terrible thing....

happened yesterday....The only remaining Tea Clipper 'The Cutty Sark' went up in flames, someone set fire to the old Ship that sits in dry dock in Greenwich South London. She was under going a £5m restoration so most of the best parts were not on board, but still a tragedy none the less.

I read about that yesterday...heartbreaking. I'm so glad I got to see it a few years ago.

Was it arson. Chrisy???
I have never seen it, but like so many vintage items, they just don't have the craftmanship today that they did back then... I am sure it was a great piece of work!!!

Arson is setting a fire deliberately.....like when a careless person drops a match or Cig: and sets off a Forest Fire, or pours petrol over some thing and sets light to it.
