Cutty Sark Conservation Plan vol. 3: Significance 2 of 107 technological and maritime significance: this re-evaluation assesses her cultural significance as well. The format of this volume follows the English Heritage and Heritage Lottery Fund guidelines for conservation planning and is shown diagramatically below: Documentary Sources Understanding the Vessel Understanding the Collection Understanding the Site Interpretation Principles Historical Summary Structure and Fabric Cultural Role Assessment of Significance Statement of Significance Vulnerability of Significance Vision for Cutty Sark Realising the Vision Conservation Principles Conservation Policies This document’s primary purpose is to define the significance of Cutty Sark and consequently her position in cultural heritage. The evidence from which this is argued is presented as a summary of the history of the ship – in terms of her career, the materials from which she is built
Cutty Sark Conservation Plan vol.3: Significance and her socio-cultural role – from construction in 1869 to the present day. This evidence is then analysed to present the argument that the ship has a number of significances, and these are themselves summarised in a statement of significance. The final sections of the Plan deal with the consequences of the significance – namely a vision and a set of policies for retaining the ship’s significance, both physically and intellectually. These will determine the conservation treatments and interpretation treatments that are appropriate of the ship. The fundamental conclusions of this volume – the statement of significance and the resulting principles and policies – were agreed by the Council of the Cutty Sark Trust at the Trustees’ Meeting of 26 November 2003. It has also been circulated among the Maritime Greenwich World Heritage Site partners and endorsed by them. Earlier versions were passed to a number of organisations and individuals for comment, and posted on the Cutty Sark website. Respondents are acknowledged on page 91. However, significance is a relative term, and the Trust is conscious that what is significant (and what is not) today may not be so tomorrow, and in time the ship may take on a new meaning. It is therefore important – and because we are likely to embark on a major re- interpretation of the ship shortly it is essential – that this plan is reviewed regularly. The Trustees have agreed that a formal review will be undertaken no later than 31 January 2009.
