A '''composite ship''' is one constructed of timber with iron or steel framing. The term usually refers to the composite [[clipper]]s built in the [[English]] shipyards during the 1860s that mark the pinnacle of the age of sail.

The Scottish-built composite clipper, “[[Cutty Sark]]” of 1869, has fortunately survived and, is on public exhibition in dry dock in [[Greenwich]], England.
