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.
