Captain Dan Berg has worked in the SCUBA industry for over twenty
years. He owns and operates the charter dive boat Wreck Valley. Mr.
Berg has authored over a dozen shipwreck and diving related books and
was the host and producer of the award winning Dive Wreck Valley TV
series. Capt. Berg makes no claims at being a master model builder. He
is only someone that loves the ocean, maritime history and the art of
crafting these miniature tall ships. _
Let Capt. Dan show you the secrets of how
to build a authentic ship in a bottle.
_ Sample Pages_
The art of building a ship in a bottle dates back to the early
1800's. Sailors for centuries have crafted items during there long
journeys away from home. They worked with supplies that were readily
available to them and are responsible for some of the finest scrimshaw
and models ever created. Exactly when the first ship was built and
inserted into a bottle is unknown. Bottles older than the mid 1800's
were often not clear enough to showcase a miniature tall ship. By the
late 1800's good quality hand blown glass bottles were abundant. It
was during this time that this craft was perfected. Models back then
were often created out of whale bone and exotic hardwood. Many of
these early examples are now housed in museums around the world.
Unfortunately, times have changed for mariners and model builders. Far
fewer of our youth now venture out to sea for adventure or to seek
their fortune. With the advent of the internet and video games even
fewer are spending any time carving or crafting any type of models.
This books goal is to help stir up some interest in this ancient
maritime art form and preserve the building techniques for future
generations.
Capt. Berg learned years ago the ancient mariners art of building a
ship in a bottle. He has now put a how to book together which gives
all the tricks of the trade so anyone with a love of maritime history,
sailing or the sea can build their own piece of nautical art.

THE SECRET
Many people think that the miniature ship model is actually built
piece by piece while inside the bottle. Others think it's a complete
illusion and that the bottle is cut in half and then glued back
together around the miniature model. Actually, the detailed ship model
is built outside the bottle but it's designed in a way that allows its
masts and sails fold flat. The model is then slid in through the
bottles neck and then the masts are carefully pulled upright with
string and a few handcrafted tools. Of course it sounds a bit easier
than it actually is. With the information and techniques provided in
this text anyone with a little creativity will be able to craft and
display a quality piece of maritime art.
