Ships, Folk Art, and Whimsey in Bottles

This is a scene of a Brittish Man-of-War nachored in a harbor with a supply boat along side. The warship is wonderfully made with great detail in deck and hull features as well as standing and running rigging. The supply boat has many barrels an crates on the deck ready to be off-loaded to the warship. The bottle is 10 inches long and rests on a custom wooden stand with "A Warship Repairing 1809" carved on the side. The name of the artist, B Stratton also appears on the stand.
