    1. [MAR] Similarities Cutty Sark (1869 921 tons) and Borealis (1864 920 tons)?

    3. I hope to visit the UK in September and am thinking of a visit to the Cutty Sark. I have previously posted about my great-grandfather's ship Borealis which was built at Rotherhithe in 1864 ON50063. It seems from their burthen numbers and construction that Borealis would have more than a little in common with Cutty Sark. Can anyone please give me an idea of similarities and differences to look out for? Also, my great-grandfather was ship's steward on Borealis so I would love to know if there would be any specific quarters or working areas to look out for on Cutty Sark which would give an idea of his time at sea.
