Did everyone here about the clipper ship Cutty Sark?
It was gutted by fire and destroyed. I hate hearing about an old ship or an old house or building being destroyed like this.

The forensic examination of the remains of the Cutty Sark has finished and proved inconclusive as to the cause of the fire which devastated the historic ship, police have said.

1. I heard it was repairable
because a lot of major parts like the masts and castles had been removed for renovations.

2. It looks bad
Did not know about the masts though, so that is good. Looks like evrything above the primary deck burned. You are right a lot timbers are still left.
