The Cutty Sark Conservation Project involves dozens of personnel on site, moving between off-site workshops, storage locations and the ship site in Greenwich. Between them, the team handles the numerous stages of conserving Cutty Sark which include packing and storing parts removed from the ship, treatment of the ship’s original fabric, and preventive actions against further decay and deterioration.

An important part of the process is creating a photographic record of the project so that the work being undertaken can be seen and understood today and in the future.
