Description
Another ship in a bottle that I built a while ago. It is slightly bigger than the one in my previous post, but still very small.
The techniques used are largely the same as well. The hull is carved from wood, the masts are made of bamboo wood and attached with tiny cramps made of copper wire. The sails are cut from cloth. All masts are connected via a thread bound around their tips and threaded through the bowsprit, so they can be folded down and pulled up by the string when the ship is in the bottle. Other than the ship in the last post, I didn't paint this one.

The Name "La Cachaça" refers to the bottles original content, a liqueur from sugar cane that a friend brought me from Argentina.
