- an
old Scottish name for a short nightdress. The witch is depicted in Cutty Sark's
 
figurehead - the
carving o f a woman typically at the front o f old sailing ships. In legend, and in Bums ’s poem,
witches cannot cross water, so this was a rather strange choice o f name for a ship.
Cutty Sark
 
was built in Dumbarton, Scotland, in 1869, for a shipping company owned by John
Willis. To carry out construction, Willis chose a new shipbuilding firm, Scott & Linton, and
ensured that the contract with them put him in a very strong position. In the end, the firm was
forced out ofbusiness, and the ship was finished by a competitor.
Willis’s company was active in the tea trade between China and Britain, where speed could
bring shipowners both profits and prestige, so Cutty Sark
 
was designed to make the journey
more quickly than any other ship. On her maiden voyage, in 1870, she set sail from London,
carrying large amounts o f goods to China. She returned laden with tea, making the journey back
to London in four months. However, Cutty Sark
 
never lived up to the high expectations ofher
owner, as a result ofbad winds and various misfortunes. On one occasion, in 1872, the ship and
a rival clipper, Thermopylae,
 
left port in China on the same day. Crossing the Indian Ocean,
Cutty Sark
 
gained a lead o f over 400 miles, but then her rudder was severely damaged in stormy
seas, making her impossible to steer. The ship’s crew had the daunting task ofrepairing the
rudder at sea, and only succeeded at the second attempt. Cutty Sark
 
reached London a week after
