Description: The photo shows a variety of ships in bottles built and inserted by Dan Siemens. He is continually challenging himself by using various sized and shaped bottles and ship types. Most recently, he has been going smaller and smaller. All his projects are scratch built (except for blowing the bottles themselves).

The model in the foreground is a skiff being prepared for insertion into a bottle, while two hulls are being readied for masting.

Modeler’s Bio: I do accounting as my day job but love bottling ships when I can find time. I started five years ago after watching the fourth Pirates of the Caribbean movie.
