Cutty Sark - only 2% destroyed

Apparently, less that 2% of the Cutty Sark's original fabric was lost in the fire. This seems quite amazing, and one wonders if this is not because so little of the original fabric survived in the first place that the fire could not destroy much of it.

I'm probably being too cynical because the good thing was that much of the original material was already off site with the fire broke out,
