Queen Mary Scale Model
Custom Crating, Packing & Transportation
Bohren’s was hired to move the 85-year-old, 21-foot-long, ship builder’s scale model of the Queen Mary to California. The deinstallation and crating from South Street Seaport in NYC took 3 days and then a climate-controlled tractor trailer with team drivers moved it to its new home aboard the ship in Long Beach, CA.

“Laundromat,” by the famous Chinese artist Ai Weiwei, addresses the current refugee crisis. The installation (Deitch Projects, NYC) features racks of actual clothing and shoes taken from refugee camps housing Syrian immigrants. Bohren’s received numerous overseas containers, stored the contents, and delivered them to the gallery for installation.
MINI cooper – Times Square, NYC
Billboard Deinstallation
Bohren’s, in partnership with a Mayflower agent, was hired to bring down and transport two actual MINI Coopers from a billboard in Times Square, New York City. Due to the location and logistics involved, the entire operation had to take place in the middle of the night. Suffice to say it turned a lot of heads in one of the most crowded areas in any city in the US!
