Shipshape for the future

Clipped to the Drawing Board by Administrator  
Did you know Trivia - THE success of the £35m Cutty Sark restoration project, which reaches a critical phase this year, will rest - quite literally - on the expertise of Tees Valley engineers.

Design and construction engineers at Cleveland Bridge, Darlington, and Consteel Technical Services at Saltburn, are working on plans to lift the clipper - once the fastest in the commercial fleet - 2.7m off its dry dock at Greenwich and rest the 138-year-old timbers on a Corus steel cradle. It will allow visitors to view the extraordinary hull design for the first time when the ship reopens to the public in 2010.
