== Surviving ships == Of the many clipper ships built during the mid-19th century, only two are known to survive. The only intact survivor is ''[[Cutty Sark]]'', which was preserved as a [[museum ship]] in 1954 at [[Greenwich]] for public display. The other known survivor is ''[[City of Adelaide (1864)|City of Adelaide]]''; unlike ''Cutty Sark'', she was reduced to a [[Hulk (ship type)|hulk]] over the years. She eventually sank at her moorings in 1991, but was raised the following year, and remained on dry land for years. ''Adelaide'' (or S.V. ''Carrick'') is the older of the two survivors, and was transported to Australia for conservation.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://cityofadelaide.org.au/condensed-history.html |title=City of Adelaide website β Condensed History |publisher=Cityofadelaide.org.au |access-date=2013-04-08}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=The Future of the S.V.
