... It became famous for its speed and held the record for the fastest voyage from Australia to Britain for ten years. ...In her day, she was famous as one of the fastest sailing ships, first in the China Tea Trade, and afterwards in the Australian Wool Trade. ...It became famous for its speed and held the record for the fastest voyage from Australia to Britain for ten years. ...The maker of the ship model on the postcard was Dr C Nelson Longridge (1876–1952), an English surgeon, maritime author, and builder of detailed ship models. Other models include the SS Marioness and the steam yacht Asia. He also wrote the books 'Cutty Sark' and 'The Anatomy of Nelson's Ships'. The postcard was printed by B Matthews, Bradford, England, incorporated in 1970 as B. Matthews (Photo Printers) Limited. Collections of B Matthews' photo prints of famous painted portraits are held at The National Portrait Gallery of London. Copies of B Matthews postcards are today sought after by collectors. THE CUTTY SARK: - The Cutty Sark was built in Britain in 1869 and was one of the last great sailing ships. At first, it carried tea from China. Later, it was used to transport wool from Australia. It became famous for its speed and held the record for the fastest voyage from Australia to Britain for ten years. Later, a Portuguese company bought the ship and renamed it Ferreira. After that, a retired sea captain purchased it to use as a training ship in Cornwall. When the captain died, the ship was given to a training college in Greenwich in 1938. In 1954, it was placed in dry dock at Greenwich, where it remains on display. This postcard features a photograph of a model of the sailing ship Cutty Sark, making it significant because of its connection to this well-known vessel. The famous tea clipper transported wool from Australia to markets around the world. Models such as this one help us understand what sea travel was like before steam-powered ships became widespread, while also illustrating how trade, travel and migration developed over time. Cutty Sark was also celebrated for its speed. It broke records on the voyage from Australia to Britain and held this distinction for ten years. Its importance is still recognised today, as the ship has been carefully preserved and is now displayed at the British Maritime Museum in Greenwich. Its remarkable history has also made it a popular subject for model ship enthusiasts. The postcard is also valuable because it shows a model of Cutty Sark built by the renowned C. N. Longridge, who was not only a respected surgeon but also a skilled model maker and author of detailed maritime works. A further connection is found in the printer, B Matthews, who photographed and printed collections featuring famous people, model ships and maritime scenes, adding another layer of historical interest to the postcard. Postcard, black and white, showing a model of the sailing ship Cutty Sark. Printed details are provided on both the front and back of the postcard. Inscriptions include a brief description of the Cutty Sark, the location and maker of the model, and the printer's contact information.

Launched in November 1869 at Dumbarton on Clyde she was considered the fastest ship of the day. Designed and constructed by Hercules Linton and William D Scott, she was built to carry tea from China and beat the Thermopylae. Her fastest recorded speed was 12.5 knots by sailing 363 miles in 24 hours. The dimensions of both ships were very similar: length 64.7m (212 feet), Beam 11 =m (36 feet), Depth of hold 6.4m (21 feet). Tonnage: Cutty Stark: 921, Thermopyalae 948. With many centuries of shipbuilding it was difficult to find good oak in England. The oak frames occupied excessive space in the cargo hold. A composite building technique was sued with the hull being made out of wooded panelled iron frames. Cutty stark was built with an elm keel and teak planking. Her last passage carrying tea was in 1877. in 1895 she was sold to a Portuguese owner. in 1883, the Cutty Stark joined the Australian wool trade, loaning wool from ports, including Melbourne, bound for the UKLarge model of the Cutty Stark in a "Handcrafted/ Mr Robert McFeeters/ Vermont 19"98" "Display Case/ Mr Ivan Nemanic/ Montrose 1990" "Cutty Stark/ Buil 1869/ Glasgow/ -

At first, it carried tea from China. Later, it was used to transport wool from Australia. It became famous for its speed and held the record for the fastest voyage from Australia to Britain for ten years. Later, a Portuguese company bought the ship and renamed it Ferreira. After that, a retired sea captain purchased it to use as a training ship in Cornwall. When the captain died, the ship was given to a training college in Greenwich in 1938. In 1954, it was placed in dry dock at Greenwich, where it remains on display. The Cutty Sark is a special ship because it carried wool from Australia to other parts of the world. Models like this one help us imagine what sea travel was like before steam-powered ships were common, and they show us how trade, travel and migration changed over time. The Cutty Sark is also famous for being very fast. It set a record for the journey from Australia to Britain and kept that title for ten years. Today, people still recognise its importance because it has been carefully preserved and is on display at the British Maritime Museum in Greenwich. Its story has also made it a favorite subject for people who enjoy building ship models.

... Reputed to be one of the fastest sailing ships. Famous in the Australian passenger trade....Reputed to be one of the fastest sailing ships. Famous in the Australian passenger trade. ...In the early nineteenth century larger Australian wool producers sent all their wool by sailing ship to London, where colonial auctions were held in November, January, February and March. Wool bales were carried from the farm on drays or wagons pulled by bullocks, horses or camels to port warehouses. In these times, wool transport could take anything from a week to six months. Ships, such as the Lightning, were then loaded and raced each other to get to London ahead of their rivals. The wooden ship 'Lightning' was destroyed by fire while loading wool at Geelong 31 Oct. 1869. Scuttled in Corio Bay and the remains later blown up. Reputed to be one of the fastest sailing ships. Famous in the Australian passenger trade.Model of a clipper ship with hull painted brown and black.

Historically, it was a rural area with agricultural roots, but since the late 20th century, it has undergone significant urban development. The transformation accelerated in the 1990s and 2000s, with large-scale residential subdivisions, infrastructure projects, and commercial developments reshaping the landscape. Key historical milestones include: Early Settlement: Originally inhabited by the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation. European Settlement: Began in the mid-1800s, primarily for farming and grazing. Urban Expansion: Post-1970s, Craigieburn saw increasing suburban development, especially after the extension of rail and road infrastructure. Recent Growth: From the 2000s onward, Craigieburn became one of Melbourne’s fastest-growing suburbs, with new estates, schools, and shopping centres.This large colour aerial photograph of Craigieburn holds significant value as a visual record of the suburb’s transformation from a semi-rural landscape to a dynamic urban centre in Melbourne’s northern growth corridor. Captured during a period of rapid development, the image documents the spatial evolution of Craigieburn, including residential expansion, infrastructure projects, and the integration of green spaces and commercial zones. The photograph is historically significant as it reflects the broader patterns of post-2000 suburban growth in Victoria, driven by population pressures, housing demand, and strategic planning initiatives. It provides insight into land use changes, transport connectivity (notably the Hume Highway and Craigieburn railway line), and the emergence of community hubs such as Craigieburn Central. From a cultural heritage perspective, the image contributes to understanding the lived environment of diverse communities who have settled in Craigieburn, including its role in accommodating Melbourne’s multicultural population. It also serves as a reference point for future urban planning, environmental monitoring, and historical comparison. The photograph is an important archival asset for researchers, planners, and local historians, offering a detailed snapshot of a pivotal moment in Craigieburn’s development trajectory.Colour aerial photograph of Craigieburnaerial photograph, craigieburn -

At 300 ft (92 m) long, she was an enormous paddler, outclassing the luxurious Ozone and surviving in service until 1930. In 1932 her stripped shell was scuttled off Barwon Head.
