all of the sudden i thought, how do they put ships in a bottle, i thought it was one if two things. 1. they cut the bottle then seamlessly glue it together or 2. they painstakingly assemble it in the bottle with tweasers peace by peace and take months to even years doing it, i never thought this was how... the things i think of when i should be focusing🤦🏼♂️😂
Thanks for that. It is fun to do, so give it a go, but if you want a really simple one to start with, go to cityofadelaide.org.au/our-media/education/646-ship-in-a-bottle-model.html
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.
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!

this is only how the shitty looking ones are done. any good, realistic model, is assembled piece by piece in the bottle, not mashed through the neck fully completed like this. you can only use this method with very very simple models.
I have absolutely no idea why this old, completely not at all related to anything I've ever watched video was on my feed, but what a cool video! my grandad had several of those and I was always fascinated by them!
My dad used to make these when he worked away on lighthouses and would bring them home whenever i got the chance to see him. it was such a mind boggling thing looking at them when i was a little kid and he never would tell me how it was done. loved the video thank you.
Maybe because its complicated to explain to kid this process haha *Kids, or to "a kid" forgot I wrote this comment got a notification and the grammar bothered me.
Even if you know how it's done this is still a fascinating process. There's a local glassblower who does glass ships inside of glass bottles - I would love to see how that's done!

+CuriosityShow Rob! these days im a software engineer + cryptographer and in my spare time enjoy as many videos as i can watch about quantum physics, the universe, life, and the brain. SEE WHAT YOU DID TO US KIDS!!!
I remember rushing home to watch The Curiosity Show when it was first on, back in the days (oh, how my nieces and nephews laugh at the very thought!) before we had VCRs! I even remember watching this segment - and the messes I made trying to achieve a similar result. Happy days ETA I ended up a physicist, though with a BA in philosophy as well, with a particular interest in the philosophy of science. I generally put it down to having had "a misspent youth"
This show is amazing. Simple topics, simple conversations and explanations. You give the viewer everything they need in a small amount of time. Brilliant.
The most amazing thing I think is the patience of the people wo invented this, it explains why though, months on a ship would drive anyone to perfect any kind of craft available
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. I’ve seen large seashells in bottles, so those must be done the way I’ve surmised. Unless they raise the live snails in the bottles, then kill and clean them at the end.
Thank you for re-entering my life, I missed you guys so much. Along with the Julius Sumner-Miller videos, now also available via UA-cam, my childhood is accessible at the click of a mouse.
Oh my god this video is a time capsule. I am instantly back as a kid when i stayed up way too late to watch tv while my parents were asleep and programs like this with the low quality and synthy music all about something no one cares about but just interesting enough to catch your attention those were simpler times
Sailors used to do this at sea? Imagine how frustrating that would have been with the sea rocking the ship about while they try to do something that delicate
If you just want to know the principle method of how this is done - without watching hours of video. Then this video is for you. Thanks to the publisher. I gave it a like.
Mac MashPotato It's an odd hobby, but some people manage to work out how to put all kinds of things into a bottle - cars among them. Sometimes they are made in several parts and assembled inside the bottle, piece by piece. Rob
Mac MashPotato Technically, it can be done but it requires a LOT of time and patience. You do need steady hands too. I've seen someone put a diorama of a Civil War scene in a bottle. I asked the guy how the freak he did it. His reply: LOTS of time and steady hands! I lack the latter so I can't build models like this.
YLW Pyro Yes, but best to start with a simple fore-and-aft rig (schooner or ketch) as you'll learn a lot before getting into the seriously tricky square riggers. - Rob

The popularisation of resin 3D printers could be quite a boon to the “ships in a bottle” art form. The level of detail in such a small scale with resin printers is incredible.
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.
+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
Thank you so much for this! I was curious before, wondering how they did it but I assumed the makers were just incredibly patient and had a very steady hand. Loved this but I'm klutzy so I absolutely know I'd flub it if I tried. I'll stick to painting and beadweaving.

UA-cam algorithm decided I needed a break from true crime and movie clips.
Click on subtitles and skip to 7:59. Hilarious attempt at transcription! That will keep me laughing all night.
Thanks! Lol
Hahahahah

Oh my god...
Damn it been so long and no it says hat
Is this how blackbeard from pirates of the Caribbean placed ships into bottles?
I've hit the dark part of youtube...
nope. the dark part is where they are "putting shit into a bottle".
I have one more day to work on my final project, but boy did this how to bottle a ship video was worth watching
Thank you so much for this! I was curious before, wondering how they did it but I assumed the makers were just incredibly patient and had a very steady hand. Loved this but I'm klutzy so I absolutely know I'd flub it if I tried. I'll stick to painting and beadweaving.
WOW! light house in a bottle i enjoyed watching this.
ship in a bottle take time to detail and patients
I can remember watching this show as a kid, loved it then love it now
Many thanks. Curiosity Show was a national science program for children featuring Dr Rob Morrison and Dr Deane Hutton. It was made in Adelaide, South Australia and screened nationally in Australia as well as in Europe, Asia and Australasia (14 countries) from 1972-1990. Deane and Rob intentionally used everyday items around the house (like old cans) so that children could repeat the demonstrations with materials they had to hand. In 1984 Curiosity Show won the Prix Jeunesse International, the world's top award for children's TV programs. Rob and Deane are steadily uploading segments at ua-cam.com/users/curiosityshow
How old are you now sir?
I am so happy to know that he know which rope is rich and which not... i mean i wouldn't want to pull the poor rope 1st...
I always assumed that the miniature ship started out as a small sponge, and when water was added to the bottle it would reach full size.
Wow very nice I always wondered how that was done.
I thought it was done in a factory where u somehow could pour hot glass around the boat. And wait till it hardens into a bottle.
I have a glass ship inside a bottle. How is it done? Given that glass can't be bent.
5:41 Apparently they already had Apple Watch in the 1980s
Need that intro song… RIGHT NOW!
I always wanted to see how these ships where bottled, now I know! :D
How can this vid showed up on my recommendation?
