Putting a ship into a bottle

[@craigweis1675]

Sailing ship voyages for whale and trade was 5 years ... plenty of time to build a ship in a bottle after you sober up. Do you know why there are 18 shots in a bottle? Because there were 18 holes in one Golf Game.

Excellent segment, I kind of wondered how bottling model ships was done, before watching this segment I thought the models were painstakingly assembled inside the bottle with long tweezers tools piece by piece at a time.

[@CuriosityShow]

Partly right, but the hinged masts pre-set with the stays are an important starting point. Rob

[@hgrogers85]

The oldest ship in bottle dates to 1784 by Italian Gioni Biondo. It is also one of the most impressive ships in bottles I know of. Suggesting that ships in bottles have existed for much longer than stated in the video. Not everyone builds ships in bottles with a hinged system. This is the easiest way, and some bottlers actually do fabricate them completely outside the bottle and add each piece one by one, reconstructing the model inside. Though, since this is quite painstaking, few take this route. Many ship hulls are however, built in multiple sections to pass through the neck of the bottle and re-assembled inside. If cut horizontally down the middle rigging lines would be pre-glued to one side, the adjacent side rigging is left loose and runs through holes or fittings that must be pulled tight, glued, and cut away. There are an incredible number of ways to fabricate a ship in bottle; it is an amazing artform!

Although many hobbyists refer to the craft as the "impossible bottle," building a ship in a bottle is simple and straightforward. All you need is a model ship, a bottle, and tools to secure the ship inside to create this intricate, beautiful project. Whether this is your first or one of many, a slow and patient attitude will help you build a strong ship in a bottle. Before you know it, you'll have created your own elegant and whimsical ship in a bottle!

I always assumed they built the ship or other object, then spun a glass bottle around it à la clay on a pottery wheel, pinching the top as narrow as desired.

[@hollywood8934]

As a builder of folk art in bottles (google Chris Wood bottles), I love the video, but I do want to say that ships in bottles are a bit older than he said. If this was 1984-5, then the 150 years he said since the first ship in bottles, would point to 1834-5, but the earliest dated ship in bottle in existence today was built in 1784 in Italy by Venetian Sea Captain Gioni Biondo. So, then it was 200 years old & today it is 231 years old! Two of Biondo's amazing ship in bottles are known (including a 1792 example now in the Marine Museum in Lisbon), both visible on this page with another 18th C. example- www.barcosenbotella.com/BeB_Historia.htm (or google his name & bottle in images if this link fails). There were probably earlier models, but they have not survived. Other scenes built in bottles date back to 1719, the date on the earliest two examples to have survived. I hope this is informative.

[@CuriosityShow]

+Holly Wood You are quite right. What I meant was that the wholesale production of ships in bottles as a commonly practised pastime at sea seems to have depended on the availability of more mass-produced clear glass bottles (medicine bottles were especially prized) for sailors to start making them in good numbers, and that was around the mid 1800s. The early Biondo examples are fantastically well done - as were many of the exquisite bone ships moidelled by French prisoners in the Napoleonic wars - not bottled, though. - Rob
