Buggeroo, I used to walk past that ship every day when I was at university. It really was beautiful!

A fire which severely damaged the famous 19th Century ship Cutty Sark is being treated as suspicious by police.

I'm suprised I didn't spot it this morning as that's also the view I get of Canary Wharf (buildings in background) that I get from my train window.

I can't believe some fker would actually burn it on purpose, surely it was an accident? If it was arson I say hang em high! Hang them from the yardarm of the Cutty Sark when they rebuild her. rock:

BTW just in case you didn't know the Cutty Sark was the fatest sailboat/tea clipper of her time. Here's what she looked like before the fire:
