Ship in a bottle DOS AMIGOS
The DOS AMIGOS was a US slaver that was rigged as a brigantine schooner. Like most slave ships she was a very fast ship. In 1830 she was captured by the British Royal Navy and refitted as a anti-slave patrol vessel. From that time, 1832, a complete set of actual design plans have survived.
This ship in a bottle was made by Otto Palmen who is famous for such
works. His sign is on the bottle cork and on the name plate.
The dimensions of the bottle are: Length 30 cm, width 18 cm, height
including stand 20 cm.
