Stateroom in a ship in a bottle

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.
