while i was on vacation, i visited the bermuda underwater exploration institute. as i was walking through the museum, i was shocked to find vintage glassware in one of the exhibits. in 1943 the last american cargo ship, the constellation, wrecked off the cost of bermuda on its way to venezuela. among the artifacts found at the shipwreck were 1,840 cartons of owens-illinois co. glass.

blown glass
i just got back from vacationing in bermuda. while i was there i stopped by the dockyard glassworks. they have an assortment of blown glass... anything from plates and vases to christmas ornaments. the place is really amazing. their work is fantastic, and you can watch the glassblowers work. here is a worker finishing a flower bowl... love the colors!
