 Model of the
RMS Oregon
shipwreck in a bottle
On March 6, 1886, the Oregon
departed Liverpool and steamed for New York. At 4:30 AM, March 14th,
on a clear Sunday morning, the Oregon was jolted on her port side while
running at full steam only five miles off Fire Island, NY.
Although there were many conflicting reports of exactly what caused the
accident, it has been accepted to have been a collision with the three masted
schooner Charles R. Moss of Maine which was reported missing
that night.
Folding smoke stacks as well as
folding masts allow the model to fit inside the bottle.
This ship will be depicted
sinking with her stern rising above the waves. Model
includes propeller and rudder.
This model was designed with a
removable upper deck. All of her rigging folds back so the
tiny ship can be squeezed through the bottles neck.

more proficient. Capt. Dan has included a showcase of ship in
bottle images from some of the best master model builders in
the world. Often the best way to improve skills and technique
is to examine the exquisite work and detail of these masters.
