The future of the famous Cutty Sark has been secured after shipping magnate Sammy Ofer stepped forward, providing £3.3 million in funds. This donation means that the Cutty Sark Restoration Project has met its fund raising total allowing it to complete the works, which thrown badly off track by last year’s fire.

The fantastic domation follows soon after the annoucement of a £20 million donation by Mr Ofer made towards the National Maritime Museum.
