Wander along New York’s Hudson River as far as 55th Street and you’ll find a very different ship in a bottle. Situated in Hudson River Park at Clinton Cove, there’s a wonderful sculpture by Malcolm Cochran called Private Passage. At first glance it looks simply like an oversized bottle with portholes…
…but take a closer look through the portholes, or down the neck of the bottle, and you’ll discover a recreation of a stateroom on the Queen Mary liner.
I wonder if it’s for rent, because it looks so much roomier than the place I’m staying in.

About ailsapm
Hi there! I’m Ailsa. I’ve lived in many places, and travelled to many more. I had a lot of fun getting there and being there, wherever there happened to be at the time. I climbed a castle wall in Czesky Krumlov, abseiled down cliffs to go caving in the west of Ireland, slept on the beach in Paros, got chased by a swarm of bees in Vourvourou (ok that wasn’t fun, but it was exciting), learned flower arranging in Tokyo, found myself in the middle of a riot in Seoul, learned to snowboard in Salzburg, got lost in a labyrinth in Budapest and had my ice cream stolen by a gull in Cornwall.
And I’m just getting started.

Remember, anyone who tries to tell you it’s a small world hasn’t tried to see it all.
I like the way you crop it. I thought it was a spaceship. Thanks for sharing Nonoy Manga
You’re welcome Nonoy, glad you enjoyed it, the sculpture did look a little like a spaceship actually…in a bottle
We came across it recently too… and were very disappointed to find that you can’t crawl in…
Me too, I really wanted to have a mooch around inside
nice ship!
