ABOUT
Of all the fascinating models it is possible to make, perhaps the ship-in-a-bottle is the most intriguing. Not only is it a challenge to the skill of the model maker: its very presence in the confined space of a glass bottle also taxes the reason of many an admiring beholder and may even stir in him a long forgotten belief in magic. Such models, made by old seafarers, have, for generations, puzzled and provoked admiration from hosts of landlubbers who have inevitably asked :".. but how did you put it in the bottle?
Illustrated throughout with monochrome photos and line drawings.
