“If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up people to collect wood and don’t assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea.” – Antoine de Saint-Exupery
History of Ship in a Bottle Day
In the year 2013, the day was first celebrated. The celebration of this day encourages people with creativity to draw or build a ship inside glass bottles. The birthday of Jack Hinkley day is memorialized as this day. He was the founder of the Ship in Bottle Association of America. You can now take the ship along with you wherever your voyage be. Building a ship inside glass bottles is a very old and traditional artwork. In the late 18th and early 19th centuries, sailors started this artwork. The people usually build the ship outside bottles as the ship is too big to fit inside. One could raise it from outside with the help of the string attached to the ship’s end. It is necessary to have good practice prior to making a good ship in a bottle.
