A 1:30 scale model of HMS Victory made by an Anglo-Nigerian artist, Yinka Shonibare. Bottle glass made by aquarium specialists in Rome.
Curious how he got the ship into the bottle? 
The sculpture is 3.25m high x 5m long and weighs 4 tons
Nelson's Ship In A Bottle is displayed on the Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square, London, for 18 months starting from May 2010.
Happy

That’s pen ship that won’t be sailing off to war. Amazing how they do that.
I’ve seen many versions of ship in bottles and still don’t know how they got in there

I once watched a documentary on how the ship in a bottle was made. Such patience and eye for detail!
