peveka Posted October 16, 2019 Share #1 Posted October 16, 2019 Hi all I stumbled upon these pictures of a bottle, found somewhere in an attic in France. The upper part is sealed, the lower part can be taken off. Is this some kind of a ship-in-a-bottle-for-dummies thing? Cheers Pieter Canute and mtaylor 2 Quote Some much wood so little time ...

druxey Posted October 16, 2019 Share #2 Posted October 16, 2019 So that's how they actually do it! And they always give this song and dance about a zillion threads and collapsible masts.... Thanks for revealing the truth, Pieter. peveka, Canute, mtaylor and 2 others 5 Quote Be sure to sign up for an epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series http://trafalgar.tv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve found better things than that in French attics! peveka, Canute, davyboy and 1 other 4 Quote Brian Apologies everyone - I’ve accepted that I’m OLD.
