Here is a photo of the figure head of the Cutty Sark taken in 1922.  I posted this on another thread and was told this is not the Cutty Sark figure head but did look like it.  I felt that had I did more research, I would have known in truth what the figure head was.  I had been led to believe it was just as I posted and was shared.  There then followed a little debate about the Nanny Witch, a Poem and the posted figure was another ships figure head!  Well, I purchased a book recently from eBay, The Log Of The Cutty Sark, by Basil Lubbock.  A really good read for those interested in the history of this gloriously well know Composite Built Clipper Ship.  And low and behold, what is one of the photo plates in the book...….you guessed it!  If you are building a Cutty, I strongly suggest you get a copy, you will not be sorry and it is not over priced as every other ship book is these days.
