Monk's Tale

Cutty Sark

Taken from metro

THE CUTTY SARK is to be turned into a giant 'ship in a bottle' to help protect it from the weather.
Her importance for future generations is greater now than it has ever been
However, the 135-year-old ship will not be encased in glass, but in an air-and-fabric structure while the £25million restoration programme is carried out to ensure it survives beyond 2007.

Now I love that ship, my favourite of them all. I've even had a model of it when i was a small kid. But I think this goes little bit too far. Thats waaay too much money put in a rotten boat, no matter how historical sight it is. What wrong with a simple glass cage, are they planning to have some armani designed cover for it or what???
