CUTTY SARK BURNS!
Was the sinking of Providence's Russian sub only the beginning of a nefarious crime spree? A "suspicious" fire in London has seriously damaged the 19th-century wooden ship, apparently "the world's oldest surviving tea clipper." What's next? The Intrepid capsized? The Constitution teepeed? Who will save the world's maritime monuments from ignominious vandalism?

Encouraging words in dark times, courtesy of The Guardian:
THE CUTTY SARK CAN AND WILL BE REBUILT. The fire may have devastated the Cutty Sark, but thanks to the current conservation project that recorded her every curve, her radical, beautiful design can be restored.
It's bullshit that this post isn't about the fact that Cutty Sark burns your throat when you drink it.
