The 'ghostly' remains of a Victorian ship designed by the builder of the famous tea clipper the Cutty Sark has been granted protected status
The"ghostly" remains of a Victorian ship designed by the builder of the famous tea clipper the Cutty Sark has been granted protected status.
Shipwright Hercules Linton designed the iron steamship the Lady Alice Kenlis in 1867. Its remains, which are categorised as a hulk rather than a wreck as it was abandoned, now lie in the River Deben on the Sutton Hoo estate in Suffolk.The Victorian tea clipper, now at Royal Museums Greenwich, was one of the fastest of its time, making the journey from Sydney to London by sail in 73 days.
Historic England said that the Lady Alice Kenlis gives an insight into Linton's evolution of thought, and the remains will now be protected by law. Chief Executive Duncan Wilson said:"Whilst only the rather ghostly remains of the Lady Alice Kenlis survive, it deserves protection as an important part of our seafaring history.
"Being able to see the hulk of the ship itself emerging from the intertidal zone of the River Deben is striking and unusual."
