I screamed with joy when I saw your Greenwich cam! I studied in London during the 1994-95 academic year and my dorm was down the road from Greenwich, so that is where I spent much of my time. Every night, after dinner in my dorm was served, I would walk a particular route through Greenwich to get some exercise and clear my thoughts, and this cam captures a small part of my walking route, which just thrills me! I have been back to London twice since then, and each time Greenwich is the first place I hit. Thank you for this wonderful gift! from Jennifer Boyer, US - 21 Aug 2000

I signed on my E-mail tonight and had your site forwarded to me by my daughter, Jennifer Boyer. She has already commented as well. I spent 10 wonderful days with her at the end of her school year in 1995. I saw this scene in person and it's a wonderful reminder of that experience for me.Thanks! from Susan E.

Spent a few nights out by the Cutty.. It looks great!! from J Rosas, USA - 23 Aug 2000

Great panarama of this maritime beauty, but a sailing vesselis always referred to as "She"; never as "it". Anyone whodoesn't know this should be keelhauled as a scurvy swab withunfathomable ignorance. [This has now been revised! - Max] from laambert@globalserve.net, Canada - 12 Sep 2000

I FOUND THIS VERY INTERESTING I WAS BORN IN GREENWICH AND REMEMBER THE CUTTY SARK I LEFT GREENWICH AT A VERY YOUNG AGE BUT STILL REMEMBER THE CLIPPER from rita.benson@mail.sprint.com, usa - 6 Dec 2000

I have loved the Cutty Sark since the 60's, sketched her and woodburned her. I have every ratline and backstay memorized. She is a beauty, I believe the best sailship bar none, having studied the history of sail and the American competition she had it hands over their best. Never been to see her, but would love to some day. Is Prince Phillip still her Patron? from mcqueensathome@aol.com, Canada - 18 Feb 2001

Captain John Willis is my great grandfather, they used to call him Jock as my grandfather says. I really don't know too much about him as we just found out about 2 years ago that he was our great grandfather. How thrilled I was to learn this. My mother was Loraine Willis and her dad was John Willis. I am still seeking information. Thanks from glennebean@coastnet.com, British Columbia, Canada - 20 Mar 2001

I searched for 'Cutty Sark' at random and found your 360 photo. Wow!! I've got to make another trip to England to visit! I didn't even know she was still around! Another person asked whether she was not being maintained. Is that true? Please don't allow your heritage to moulder away! What would Aubrey and Maturin say?! ;-) from info@bergtronics.com, usa - 9 Oct 2001

My grandfather Victor James Featherstone served as a boy seaman sometime between 1900 - 1910 on the Cutty Sark unfortunatly he passed away before this magnificent vessel returned to Greenwich which I am sure he would have been delighted to see. Thank you for this wonderful web-site it was a pleasure to visit. from JINNYBOBDURRANT@AOL.COM, ENGLAND - 3 Nov 2001

I consider Cutty Sark to be the most beautiful object, or rather work of art, ever made by human hands. from Peter Bouchier, The Netherlands - 9 Jan 2002

30 years ago I built a Revell model and it was a joy to do. Without a display case and moving 6 times, it got in sad shape & had to destroy it in '85. In 1983 I visited the ship and it was so thrilling to be on the deck of a ship I so admired. The Trust has done a incredibly marvelous job. I am building the same 36 x 22 in. model again, now that I'm retired and it is an even greater joy. from jonpatd@aug.com, U.S. - 26 Jan 2002

Brings back lots of memories and makes you feel as though you were there. An excellent site Thank you. from stokerone@aol.com, England - 29 Jan 2002

John "Jock" "Whitehat" Willis, the original owner of the Cutty Sark is my maternal great-great-grandfather. His son was Samuel A. Willis father of Arland A. Willis father of Lorraine R. Willis who was my mother. I am trying to trace the history of Whitehat Willis. If anyone has books or sites or information they could recommend, I would appreciate it very much!! from valigirl@telus.net, Victoria BC Canada - 23 Feb 2002

Stumbled onto the page by accident researching my Dissertation. I'm the rowing president at the University in Greenwich and we are really proud to be next door to the Cutty Sark. I'm sorry to report that despite the London Marathon going around her and the ship being a massively symbolic landmark she is falling apart due to lack of funding and it is true that the government is not helping out. Disgusting I'm sure you'll agree but for those of you who are american the word is someone wants to buy it in order to better look after it and move it over - bit like London Bridge...? ;) from Riaz, Greenwich, London - 18 Mar 2003

I've just come back from a two weeks' stay in London Greenwich and I'm really impressed by your website. I liked the area around the Cutty Sark so much and now I enjoy viewing in on your website. Well done,thank you! from Karin Strauss, Austria - 20 Apr 2003

At 75 years Barbara and I, Doug have just got onto the inernet and excited to find this site.We visited London in 1977, and stayed at the Royal Scott at Kings Cross.We used Kings Cross and St Pancreas station all the time. We walked all over ondon and had a wonderful time for this our only visit to the UK and Europe. When we left, we boarded a Qantas jet called Captain Cook, and the flight officer said "We are off to discover Australia". The old song running through my mind at that point was Goodbye to old England for ever, we are off to Botany Bay". Once we got home, we immediatel became home sick for England ! We loved it so much.We now regret that it has become too expensive to return at 2.5 Aussie dollars to the pound. from dhoggau@chariot.net.au, South Australia - 4 May 2004

I've bee to Greenwich and to Cutty Sark and now it all came back to me. Great! from Laura, Finland - 2 Jul 2005

We visited London, the end of March 2005. We stayed in Greenwich and had a wonderful time. It is one of the most beautiful cities I have seen. It was so green and the trees and flowers were just starting to bloom, and the view from the Observatory hill was breath taking. There was a little Fish & Chips Shop not far from the Cutty Sark that had the best Fish I had ever eaten. It was one of the best vacations that we have been on, and can't wait to come back and visit again, Greenwich is just a lovely city. Thanks for the wonderful time and great memories. from Tina Dimmitt, USA - 11 Jan 2006

Too funny! I have found both my aunt's on this page talking about my great-great (sorry, I get lost on how many greats there are, but I think I only need two) grandfather. Pretty cool! I know someone famous even if he has passed on it's still pretty cool! Awesome ship too! Extremely beautiful! Hi Aunt Val, Hi Aunt Linda!! from Patti, Canada - 20 Aug 2006

Yes, I am also a descendant of Jock Willis & was actually born one of ten children to my Mother, Loraine R. Willis, whose father was Arland A. Willis, grandfather was Samuel Willis & great-grandfather was Jock "Whitehat" Willis. I have done some research on the Cutty Sark & it has only been in recent years that our family discovered this wonderful information. I actually have several letters from my Mother to her grandfather Sam Willis where several references were made regarding Jock Willis & his travels. When he retired from the sea he was never the same man again, he missed the open waters & longed for his Cutty Sark. He went into a small business with a friend of his on a much smaller ship but this was not the same for him. I will have to get those letters out & go over them again. We also have a large article from a newspaper in Pointe-au-Baril, Ont., Canada which describes extensively Jock Willis's life & adventures. When I visit England this will definitely be one of my first stops. Sheryl Black from arwen58@telus.net, Victoria, B.C., Canada - 20 Aug 2006

My name is Patricia. I am a 25 year old. I remember my last time in Greenwich. I was visiting my friend Daniel...It was such a great experience being able to go to London after so many years...It was soooooooo much better than I had imagined. Wonderful!! All I saw in London was amazing, but Greenwich is really special for me from Patricia, Madrid, Spain - 18 Sep 2006

Dear Sirs, I studied on board the 'Cutty Sark' for my yacht master's certificate in the late 70's and was awarded a prize on completion. This included a 'Cutty Sark' burgee. I cannot find anywhere on 'Cutty Sark' web sites a photo or sketch of this burgee. Does it still exist and will I still be permitted to fly it at appropriate times? Regards, Ron Hazelwood from xl.engineers@ukgateway.net, England - 9 Oct 2006

It was very impressive to visit the Cutty Shark on August, 2006. The Cutty Shark and the Greenwich Observatory remind me that centuries ago intercontinental travel was as risky as space travel is today. Magnificent technology, but many disappeared without leaving a trace. With the tools they had then, they were master builders/tradesmen and brave sailors. Unfortunately life was very cruel by the standards of today. from Bill Quartel, Canada - 29 Oct 2006
