A series of eight films on British historic ships and maritime museums, written and presented by Anthony Burton 3: Sail and Steam
The fast cargo sailing ship reached its ultimate development in the clipper ships of the great trade routes. But well before even the famous Cutty Sark was built, experiments with steam engines on the water heralded a new era.
ANTHONY BURTON visits St Kath erine's Dock, London; the Cutty Sark at Greenwich, and the Science Museum, London, to find out about the new developments. He takes a day trip up the Clyde on the Waverley, the last sea-going paddle-steamer in the world, and an outing on the oldest screw steamer still at work, Dolly of the Windermere Steamboat Museum.
