Ships in Bottles

"He keeps each ship as a prize. You help me, and I promise you your pick. Though I think I know the one you will choose." "The Black Pearl in a bottle? Why is the Black Pearl in a bottle?"

- Angelica and Jack Sparrow

These ships in bottles were captured sailing vessels that appear in a glass bottle by the infamous pirate Blackbeard. In this state, shrunken ship would sail on a shrunken, churning ocean.

Behind the scenes

 * The name "Ships in Bottles" is based on the caption "Various Ships in Bottles from Blackbeard's collection" from a display for Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.
 * These ships in bottle were apparently inspired by the real-world impossible bottle containing a model ship.
 * Speculation of the Black Pearl being in a bottle arose while filming Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides was underway in July 2010. It was made ever since they saw Johnny Depp (Jack Sparrow) holding a bottle on set of On Stranger Tides. This was confirmed to be true as shown in the film.
