       From time immemorial an immense amount of shi ps were lost
at sea, because sailors couldn't fix their position. An astronomer
from Greenwich, Flamstead by name, even in XVII century tried to
find the answer. With a telescope made by himself he watched the sky
night after night for twenty years. In a hundred years later, another
astronomer, Harrison proceeded his work and made a clock which
told the time at sea and helped seafarers to find their location. One
can see Harrison,s clock, still working in Greenwich museum of the
sea. But it is of Flamstead's work every country all over the world
tells its time nowadays by Greenwich time.
       Every year a million visitors come to Greenwich to see its
museums and palaces and its two famous shi ps: an old one and a
new one. They are: big Cutty Sark and the little Gypsy Moth sailed
through dangerous waters before they came safely back to their Green-
wich home. At the end of 1800's the Cutty Sark was the fastest shi p
of its size. Carrying more than a million kilos of tea, she travelled the
25,000 kilometers from China to England in only a hundred days.
       Next to the Cutty Sark is the Gypsy Moth — only 16,5 metres
long, but full of newest equi pment. Her captain Sir F. Chichester
wanted his shi p to sail as far and as fast as the Cutty Sark. When he
sailed round the world by himself in Gypsy Moth in 1966 — the first
man ever do this — he took a flag from the Cutty Sark with him.
