Cutty Sark (Russian: Катти Сарк) is a short story by the Soviet writer and paleontologist Ivan Yefremov written in 1942-1943, first published in 1944 (USSR). [1]
Novel was translated into English as well as to some other languages. It is believed that this story was "one among other" to influence the destiny of the famous tea-clipper Cutty Sark which was reconstructed and dry-docked in Greenwich, London, 1954.
The feedback from English-speaking readers forced Efremov to "upgrade" the novel with some new facts from clipper's life.
Story popularized Cutty Sark in USSR and Russia.
