How do they get those boats in those glass bottles?

Answer 1

However, contrary to popular belief, a "ship in a bottle" is first assembled outside of the bottle, then placed inside. This then seems impossible, without knowing the secret of the ship.

Some ships are assembled whole with the masts hinged and lying flat against the deck. The ship is placed inside the bottle and then the masts are pulled up. Other times, especially with broader beamed ships like motor boats, the ship is reassembled in the bottle. This of course requires specialized long-handled tools, a keen eye, good coordination, and lots of patience.

Answer 2

I think the glass is made around the boats.. Good question.. Never thought about how they get it inside.. Hmmz..

Have a nice day!

Answer 3

They grow them, from a seed, they put the tiny boat seed in the bottle and then put alittle water in it and wait a couple of weeks, then a ship appears. :)

Answer 4

build the outside the bottle...collapse them and hinge the masts so that once inserted they pull a string and raise the masts.
