Skipjack Marine Gallery in Portsmouth, VA is now selling some of my ships in bottles. There you will find my quality ships in bottles awaiting to be purchased and taken home as the ultimate display piece for the home or office! You'll be able to see some of the local tall ships that have been placed inside the bottle (all pictured above). These include Pride of Baltimore, A. J. Meerwald, or the beautiful Schooner Virginia passing by Wolf Trap Lighthouse. Others include some or our very own Chesapeake Bay boats from times passed including the four masted schooner "Purnell T. White," known to be the prettiest of her type on the bay, the attractive Norfolk Pilot Schooner of 1805, "Swift," and two crabbing skiffs placed together inside a small bottle. As a sailor myself and lover of all things nautical, this is my way of preserving a bit of history. I can share an art form the sailors of the old days created, as well as some of the magnificent ships that once graced our waters. My passion of the Chesapeake Bay is evident, and all six of the vessels in Skipjack Gallery have a strong connection to the Bay in some way. So if you get a chance, head on out to Skipjack Marine Gallery, or find my items on thier website if you live too far away. Hope all of you have Happy Holidays!
