Quantcast

A Close-Up Look at the Burnt Cutty Sark

The Greenwich Phantom lives in Greenwich, and had a careful look at the site with the journalists. There are some photos and a detailed article on the blog.

I felt physically sick as I quietly tagged on behind the media scrum that’s down there at the moment, and saw what’s left of the Cutty Sark. Even walking towards it, the lingering odour of wet smoke - a gut-churning smell that hangs around long after the fire is gone - and the delicate white ash scattered amongst the cobblestones by the market was enough to bring a tear to my eye.

There are a couple of minor inaccuracies in the story, but it is well worth a read.
