Life and Vincent: The Cutty Sark again

Thursday, June 22, 2006

There's going to be a big restoration on the ship before it rots away. By the time everyone agrees what's best it will probably have dissolved.

val said...: Not, dumb, JoJo, I hadn't thought of it. But as scotch is Scottish, I think it's more likely that, like the namers of the ship, they got the name from the Burns poem. Does the whisky have a picture of the ship on it?; 8:52 pm
