In the Buddelschiff Museum there are more than 200 old and new hand-made ships from all over the world on show and each one fits in a bottle! The exhibitions show both a luxury liner (in a 40 litre bottle) and miniature boats which can only be properly examined with the aid of a magnifying glass. The various ships are stunning examples of the skill of 19th Century sailors, and the array of bottle ships made with differing materials represent all genres of this old seaman's tradition. You'll find small information plaques beside each item explaining the history and background to specific pieces. Additionally, a considerable collection of shells and corals from around the world is shown here.
