Follow-up on Cutty Sark

The devastating fire that nearly destroyed the historical clipper ship Cutty Sark was accidental:

British police say a fire that ripped through a famous 19th century ship started when electrical equipment used for renovation work was accidentally left on.

Fire tore through the Cutty Sark tea clipper in dry dock on the bank of London's River Thames early on May 21, 2007.

The ship was being restored and its masts, deckhouses, and half its historic planking had already been removed.
