Bottle 238 - Barque

Date Added: October 1, 2005
This is a nice model of a 3 mast Barque sailing on a calm sea of blue. The ship has 19 sails with stitches drawn on for realism. The bottom of the hull is black and the top light green with a thin white stripe separating the colors. There are 2 deck cabins, 3 hatches and a life boat. The rigging is nicely done in white thread. The bottle is a Haig & Haig scotch bottle sealed with a screw cap. On the bottom of the bottle is a sticker with the following: W.B. Nov. 77 3 mast Barque
