Description

I met Scottish-born Reg (aka ‘Jock’) Jobling at the Australian Wooden Boat Festival in Hobart, Tasmania in 2019.

A master of the art of the ship-in-a-bottle, Jock’s unique craft began as a slow rehabilitation following an horrendous motorcycle accident and is all the more amazing considering the damage to his arms and hands.

Historic 19th century vessels sail in specially selected bottles which are then mounted on polished Tasmanian driftwood.
