Bottled Boat

Those familiar with Trafalgar Square will know that Nelson's column sits in the centre with the famous four lions at it's base.  Four plinths are placed at each corner and while statues adorn three of the plinths, the fourth one has remained empty since the 1800s.  (They ran out of money hehe.)

For some years now, they have kept the plinth as a site for temporary pieces of modern art.  Recently, they allowed members of the public to climb on top of it and perform whatever they wanted.  That was pretty cool.

Something just as cool is the latest piece of art - a giant ship in a bottle.

You don't think it's cool?  Well, I think it's pretty cool.

I like it.

Oh and my validation word is 'piratio'. Must've known a boat was involved somehow.

Who said it wasn't cool? It's cool.

People who think it's not aren't cool - they're tools
