A MASSIVE 100,000 people have now visited the Cutty Sark following its restoration.

The Greenwich tea clipper was reopened in April by the Queen and has taken less than three months to hit the landmark visitor number.

Director Richard Doughty said: "It’s fantastic that we have managed to reach 100,000 visitors in such a short space of time, it truly shows the enduring popularity of such an iconic ship. 

"Cutty Sark is a real survivor and has always held a special place in the hearts of the public.

"This is an exciting new chapter for one of the world’s best loved vessels. We hope she continues to attract visitors from around the globe."

The ship, open seven days a week, closes at the later time of 6pm over the summer months.

During the Olympic Games, it has revised opening hours. Visit rmg.co.uk/olympics
