Ships, Folk Art, and Whimsey in Bottles

This English deep-sea tug of the original length of 25.85m was built in the hull with poplar wood, shaped and barbed with bamboo toothpicks to facilitate placement and assembly in the bottle. The upper part of the cockpit was made of fir wood and positioned on the hull with small cobbler nails. As protection along the side panels I used the insulation of a black electric cable. The bottle is closed with its original aluminum cap and placed on a support with the shape of the wooden bottle.
