I’m sure that there have been many famous people on board the Cutty Sark. It’s a tourist attraction that has attracted over 300 billion visitors.* I’d put money on that fact that amongst them are the rich, famous and ridiculously attractive. I bet even Chuck Norris has been on board the Cutty Sark. In fact, Chuck Norris accidentally looked at the ship too intensely, causing it to burst into flames in 2007.**
 
However, I have found evidence of a rich and powerful figure who has not only been on board the Cutty Sark, but has actually sailed it.
 
And he’s a duck.
 
While trawling through Wikipedia, I found historical evidence that none other than Scrooge McDuck himself piloted the Cutty Sark in 1883. Yes, the historical evidence is a comic book, but then we all know comics, or graphic novels to those of us in the know, are valid historical documents.
 
You heard it here first.
 
*figures not confirmed.
**not true. Chuck Norris doesn’t make accidents.
