Ship In A Bottle #4

I used to put these up around the city, screwed and glued to walls of abandoned buildings. Imagine your just waking somewhere on a nice day and you just see that and it lifts your mood.

I've always been fascinated by ships in a bottle... the seeming impossibility of it. How was it done. I like the irony of something meant to travel being trapped in a container. It's like a captured & preserved adventure. It reminds me of that sense of wonder from childhood, like the first time I read "Treasure Island".

I decided to make a few more in case you wanted one!
