    Two of the UK's most famous historic ships are to be given a £31m boost out of lottery funds.

    Some £21m has been awarded to the world's oldest surviving warship, the 16th Century Mary Rose, to build a museum around her in Portsmouth.

    Another £10m will go to help restore the Victorian tea clipper the Cutty Sark at Greenwich in south-east London
