The ship is made in such a way that it will fit into the neck of an ordinary bottle. For example, if it is a sailing ship, the masts are made to hinge where they meet the hull so that they fold back, and the spars are rigged so that they swivel and lie flat. The rigging is made to run freely and not secured until the ship has been inserted into the bottle. The ship is designed to collapse into a 'sausage' that will then fit down the neck of the bottle and it is then set into the sea. The rigging that runs through the bowsprit and out of the bottleneck is then used to gently haul up the masts, the yards are squared, and the rigging secured at the bowsprit. The excess rigging is then removed. There are many other techniques used to add to the 'impossible' illusion, such as building the ship in pieces which are small enough and put in separately and the adding of components after the ship is inside the bottle.

Why will a milk bottle crack if you pour hot water into it?
The milk bottle is made of ordinary glass with a relatively high coefficient of thermal expansion. Glass has poor thermal conductivity, so the inside of the bottle will be hot and outside cold. This temperature gradient will cause a stress in the glass and if the glass has small imperfections or flaws in it the glass will break. That is why coffee pots are often made of low expansion glass, like Pyrex, to prevent high stress.
