Named in tribute to the world-famous clipper Cutty Sark, this antique-finish brass compass has an engraving of the globe on the underside cantering particularly on Australia, the destination for Cutty Sark on many occasions to bring wool and other cargo back to England. In December 1883, Cutty Sark broke the record for the fastest passage back to London from Australia, she was to break her own record on several occasions subsequently.
