Details About the RELIC:

This relic originates from a G.F. MUNTZ'S 1/4-sheet copper plate that was secured to the bottom of Cutty Sark's hull during construction. Wooden ships with copper-plated hulls lasted longer and remained more streamlined due to the protective antifouling properties. Also known as "Yellow Metal", Muntz's copper plating alloy (60% copper, 40% zinc, and a trace of iron) was originally patented in 1832. During the ship's restoration in 2006, the hull was reclad in new Yellow Metal with this original Muntz plate being removed. This section of plating was removed from the ship before the ship was engulfed in fire in 2007. From the Nauticalia LTD and Cutty Sark Trust collection.

Fine Art Paper Print (Options C & D) - Relic Not Included:

Each Fine Art Print is printed on archival presentation-quality, 260 GSM / 10 Mil, photographic paper created using the highest quality inks and archival techniques. Photographs do not do this paper substrate justice as it practically "glows" on the wall. Note: Relic is not included with Fine Art Paper Prints.

The Story Behind the Print:

The Cutty Sark is a 19th-century British clipper ship that was one of the fastest ships of it's time. She was built in 1869 to transport tea from China to England and later held many speed records hauling wool from Australia. 

The ship's speed and efficiency is considered the peak of sail technology, which allowed her to outrun many early steamships. But when the Suez Canal opened, steamships eventually became the preferred means of transporting goods across the oceans.

The Cutty Sark is now a museum ship, permanently moored in Greenwich, London, and is considered a symbol of the golden age of sail.
