Cutty Sark hoovered

The Tamar is faster than its predecessor, and is the most technologically advanced lifeboat ever to be produced by the RNLI.A police investigation into the fire which caused £10m damage to the iconic tea clipper ‘Cutty Sark’ in May 2007 has determined the cause to be an industrial vacuum cleaner which was left switched on over a weekend. Fire broke out at the Greenwich, London site in the early hours of Monday morning, 21 May, raising the cost of ongoing restoration works to £35m.
